The cestode Echinococcus multilocularis is the causative agent of a severe zoonotic disease alveolar echinococcosis (AE). The parasite is distributed over a vast area in northern Eurasia and North America, but the impact of AE on human health is highly uneven between different regions. One hypothetical reason for this difference in virulence may be the genetic structure of E. multilocularis which-based on mitochondrial sequences and EmsB microsatellite profiles-forms four distinct clades. These clades correspond approximately to their
