Abstract

Echinococcus granulosus protoscolex proteins were separated using two-dimensional electrophoresis and then identified using mass spectrometry; we identified 61 proteins, 28 which are newly described of which 4 could be involved in hydatid cyst fertility molecular mechanisms.

Keywords: Bovine; Echinococcus granulosus; Hydatid cyst fertility; Proteome; Protoscolex.
