Partial sequence of mitochondrial ND1 gene was obtained from Echinococcus granulosus isolate from a wild boar (Sumy region, Ukraine). It has been found to be identical to the sequence of G7 (pig) strain of E. granulosus, which was earlier found in pigs from the same region. It is supposed that in some areas wild boars may support the existence and propagation of the pig strain of E. granulosus.
