Abstract

In Colombia, 35 confirmed cases of neotropical polycystic echinococcosis were reported during 1978-2018. In most cases, Echinococcus vogeli was identified by means of morphologic identification. We describe a case of E. vogeli echinococcosis in a woman, diagnosed through PCR, mitochondrial DNA sequencing, and molecular characterization.
