Abstract:
Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), known as hydatid cyst, is a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus). Antigen B, the major component of hydatid cyst fluid, is encoded by members of a multigene family. The present study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of the gene encoding antigen B۸/۱ (EgAgB۸/۱) among the main intermediate hosts of E. granulosus.
Methods: Twenty-eight hydatid cyst isolates (۱۰ sheep, ۹ human, and ۹ cattle) were collected in Fars province, Iran. DNA was extracted from each cyst and PCR, followed by DNA sequencing was used to identify potential EgAgB۸/۱ sequence variation and polymorphism. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using MEGA ۷.۰ software and the maximum likelihood method.
Results: Using EgAgB۸/۱ primers, an approximately ۳۱۵ bp band was amplified from all the isolates. The PCR products were sequenced, and the sequences were deposited in GenBank (accession numbers, KY۷۰۹۲۶۶-KY۷۰۹۲۹۳). The polymorphism variation among the isolates was ۰.۰, while intra-species variation within the isolates and related sequences in GenBank was ۰.۵-۱%. Analysis of the phylogenetic tree revealed that the isolates from humans, sheep, and cattle all cluster in one group and are homologous to the EgAgB۸/۱ M۱ allele.
Conclusions: Findings of this study revealed close similarity between the EgAgB۸/۱ of human, sheep, and cattle E. granulosus isolates. However, differences were found between the EgAgB۸/۱ sequences in our study and those reported from other CE endemic areas. Whether such similarities and differences exist in other subunits AgB subunits require further study.
