Afghanistan is considered endemic for CE; however, molecular data on circulating parasite populations are extremely scarce.

Genetic diversity indices, neutrality tests, median\u2010joining (MJ) haplotype (H) networks, sliding\u2010window analyses, and phylogenetic reconstructions based on concatenated mitochondrial sequences were employed. All Afghan isolates were identified as\n                    <jats:italic>E. granulosus<\/jats:italic>\n                    s.s., with a strong predominance of genotype G1 and only a single G3 isolate. Afghan populations exhibited moderate to high H diversity (Hd) but low nucleotide diversity, indicating closely related Hs separated by few mutations. Global H networks revealed star\u2010like topologies with extensive intercontinental H sharing and no host\u2010 or geography\u2010specific clustering. Phylogenetic and network analyses confirmed the genetic coherence of the G1 lineage worldwide and the limited diversity of G3. Sliding\u2010window analyses showed genome\u2010wide neutrality and absence of localized selective sweeps. Collectively, these findings position Afghan\n                    <jats:italic>E. granulosus<\/jats:italic>\n                    s.s. populations within a globally interconnected transmission network, highlighting the role of livestock movement and historical dispersal in shaping contemporary CE epidemiology.
