Echinococcus multilocularis is a parasite species of zoonotic importance which can be fatal to humans and causes Alveolar Echinococcosis (AE). This report describes the development of a cyst from the liver of a wild boar and molecular confirmation of its identification. The cyst material was obtained from the liver of a wild boar killed by hunters. Genomic DNA was extracted from the germinal layer of the cyst material, and 875 bp mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene fragment was amplified by PCR and sequenced. A BLAST search matched 100% with published Echinococcus multilocularis sequences. This study confirms the occurrence of E. multilocularis in a wild boar for the first time in Turkey.
泡状棘球蚴是一种具有动物源性重要性的寄生虫物种，对人类有致命性，并导致泡型包虫病（AE）。本报告描述了从野猪肝脏中发育的囊肿，并对其鉴定进行了分子确认。囊肿材料取自被猎人杀死的野猪的肝脏。从囊肿材料的生殖层中提取基因组 DNA，通过 PCR 扩增并测序 875bp 线粒体细胞色素 c 氧化酶亚基 I（COI）基因片段。BLAST 搜索与已发表的多房棘球绦虫序列完全匹配。本研究首次在土耳其证实野猪中存在多房棘球绦虫。
