Histopathological and genetic examinations were conducted on grayish-white solid hepatic nodules in 150 horses imported from Canada, in order to investigate larval infection. Ten of the 150 horses (6.7%) were diagnosed with alveolar hydatid disease. The sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b genes obtained from all 10 polymerase chain reaction positive samples had 99 to 100% identity with the European haplotype E1 of Therefore, we concluded that the infections likely originated in Canada.
对从加拿大进口的150匹马的灰白色实性肝结节进行了组织病理学和基因检查，以调查幼虫感染情况。150匹马中有10匹（6.7%）被诊断为肺泡包虫病。从所有10个聚合酶链反应阳性样本中获得的线粒体细胞色素b基因序列与细粒棘球绦虫的欧洲单倍型E1具有99%至100%的同一性。因此，我们得出结论，这些感染可能起源于加拿大。
