No enough data in the literatures about the exact spread of different Echinococcus genotypes in animals and humans allover Egypt. Previous reports illustrated the prevalent relatedness between camels and humans from Cairo and Qaliubya, middle of Egypt, in infection with the G6 gentoype. The present study aimed to underline the genotypes in reared camels from another geographical area of Egypt (Dakahlia province). Hydatid cyst isolates were collected from 10 camels slaughtered at Senbellawine abattoir and their DNA was subjected to the molecular analysis using the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (Cox 1). A microvarient of G6 with 5 substitutional positions was reported from all the examined samples. This report illustrates the wide dissemination of G6 genotype throughout Egypt and strength the great role played by camels in maintaining the transmission cycle of this genotype, in addition to its importance as a reservoir for human cystic echinococcosis.
