Echinococcus shiquicus and Echinococcus felidis
, 2015 Currently, ten genotypes (G1-G10) of Echinococcus Sensu Lato have been explicitly identified on the basis of taxonomic criteria. These include morphometric keys, host specificity, geographical distribution, phylogenetic analysis and genome mapping. However, a few emergent species of genus Echinococcus have been indigenously confirmed in some autonomous

Primary Mediastinal Pleural Hydatid Cyst Mimicking Tuberculous Pleuritis: A Case Report. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Hydatid disease, caused by various Echinococcus species, is endemic in developing countries and most commonly affects the liver and lungs. Approximately 7.4% of cases involve intrathoracic extrapulmonary locations, with pleural involvement usually resulting from rupture of adjacent hepatic or pulmonary cysts.
