It is caused by the larval stages (metacestodes) of the parasite Echinococcus granulosus which infects different animal species. In this report, we present a case of E. granulosus infection in a mule and molecular characterization of the cyst. For this purpose parasite material was collected from the liver of a necropsied mule. DNA was isolated and PCR amplification of mitochondrial 12S rRNA as well as partial sequencing of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (mt-CO1) genes were performed. Six unilocular cysts, filled with clear fluid were found in the liver and spleen. All cysts were found to be fertile. The 12S rRNA-PCR did not yield any band while mt-CO1-PCR yielded a 446 bp sized amplification product. Sequence corresponding to mt-CO1 gene was identical to a sequence reported for E. equinus (formerly G4) (Genbank accession number: KC953029). This is the first record of E. equinus as a cause of cystic echinococcosis in a mule in Turkey.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2478\/s11686-014-0308-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,19]],"date-time":"2014-09-19T00:25:25Z","timestamp":1411086325000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["First detection and molecular characterization of Echinococcus equinus in a Mule in Turkey"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Sami","family":"Simsek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aydin","family":"Cevik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"key":"ref181","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"452","DOI":"10.1016\/S1471-4922(02)02358-9","article-title":"Towards a taxonomic revision of the genus Echinococcus in http dx org","volume":"19","author":"Thompson","year":"2002","journal-title":"Trends Parasitology"},{"key":"ref51","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1205","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpara.2005.07.014","article-title":"Emergence re -
