The oncosphere, or first larval stage, migrates to the target organ (primarily the liver) of intermediate hosts, where it develops into an alveolar hydatid cyst containing protoscolices (<xref rid="b0155" ref-type="bibr">Thompson and McManus, 2002</xref>). Protoscolices are infectious to the carnivore definitive host upon ingestion but there are no clinical signs associated with definitive host infection. A wide range of mammal species, including humans and domestic dogs can serve as aberrant intermediate hosts, in which there can be variable development of protoscolices. Rapid growth of the cysts and proliferation of the germinal membrane can lead to extensive destruction of host tissue and metastasis to other organs (<xref rid="b0040" ref-type="bibr">Eckert et al., 2001</xref>). If not detected early and treated aggressively, debilitating disease and even host death can occur (<xref rid="b0175 b0180 b0125" ref-type="bibr">Webster and Cameron, 1967; Wilson and Rausch, 1980; Rausch and Wilson, 1985</xref>).</p><p>The genetic differences found within <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> are not as abundant as in other <italic>Echinococcus</italic> species; however, fine-scale genetic differences may have relevance for variation in levels of infectivity for humans (<xref rid="b0105" ref-type="bibr">Nakao et al., 2009</xref>). Globally, there is an estimated annual incidence of over 18, 000 cases, the vast majority occurring in Asia followed by Europe (<xref rid="b0160" ref-type="bibr">Torgerson et al., 2010</xref>). This may be due to higher levels of human exposure to the infectious eggs and/or higher pathogenicity associated with Eurasian strains (<xref rid="b0005 b0105" ref-type="bibr">Bartel et al., 1992; Nakao et al., 2009</xref>). In contrast, central North America, although considered an endemic area, has seen only two autochthonous cases of human infection (<xref rid="b0075 b0050" ref-type="bibr">James and Boyd, 1937; Gamble et al., 1979</xref>). It is possible that the occurrence of human alveolar echinococcosis in Canada has been underestimated, as historically, cases have been based on histological description, with potential for misdiagnosis as hepatic carcinoma or cystic echinococcosis (caused by <italic>E</italic><italic>chinococcus</italic><italic>granulosus</italic> which is present in most of Canada) (<xref rid="b0070 b0150" ref-type="bibr">Hildreth et al., 2000; Somily et al., 2005</xref>).</p><p>Early investigation into the genetic diversity of <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> began with the analysis of short mitochondrial (<italic>mt</italic>) gene sequences; these included 366 nucleotide (<italic>nt</italic>) sites from cytochrome <italic>c</italic> oxidase subunit 1 (<italic>cox1</italic>) and 471 <italic>nt</italic> sites from NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (<italic>nad1</italic>) (<xref rid="b0010 b0110" ref-type="bibr">Bowles et al., 1992; Okamoto et al., 1995</xref>). From this, a total of four single polymorphisms, or mutations, differentiated isolates into one of two geographic genotypes, M1 (Europe) or M2 (Japan, China, Alaska and North America) (<xref rid="b0010 b0110" ref-type="bibr">Bowles et al., 1992; Okamoto et al., 1995</xref>). The classification of strains into two genotypes was subsequently reinforced by the amplification and analysis of the nuclear DNA genes 18S rRNA and homeobox (<xref rid="b0065 b0135" ref-type="bibr">Haag et al., 1997; Rinder et al., 1997</xref>). These findings, associated with amplification of the two partial mtDNA genes (<italic>cox1</italic> and <italic>nad1</italic>) and the nuclear genes (18S rRNA and homeobox), implied that <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> was primarily uniform across its Holarctic distribution. This apparent uniformity led to the use of the <italic>nad1</italic> gene only for species level identification. However, more recent classification schemes using multiple mitochondrial loci and microsatellites suggested greater diversity in <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> than previously thought, possibly linked to geographic variation of host community structure and/or biological differences of the parasite itself (<xref rid="b0105 b0080 b0095" ref-type="bibr">Nakao et al., 2009; Jenkins et al. 2012; Knapp et al., 2012</xref>). Genetic and geographic diversity has become more apparent with an increased scope of sampling.</p><p>The discovery of a European-type strain of <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> in a domestic dog and wild canids in Quesnel, British Columbia (BC) in western Canada, prompted study in other regions of Canada. The apparently low occurrence of this strain and unusual clinical manifestation (the dog had the alveolar stage and was serving as intermediate host) is consistent with a relatively recent introduction of European-type strain into North America (<xref rid="b0080 b0055" ref-type="bibr">Jenkins et al., 2012; Gesy et al., 2013a</xref>). Increasing reports of infected coyotes (<italic>Canis latrans</italic>) in urban centers in western Canada, and the recent identification of free-ranging wolves (<italic>Canis lupus</italic>) as significant definitive hosts in northern Canada, also highlighted the need to better understand the distribution and diversity of this cestode (<xref rid="b0020 b0145" ref-type="bibr">Catalano et al., 2012; Schurer et al., 2013</xref>). This study explored parasite assemblages in definitive and intermediate hosts, the geographic distribution of <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> in northern and western Canada, and the similarities or differences of sequences of Canadian isolates to from across the circumpolar north.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="s0010"><label>2</label><title>Materials and methods</title><sec id="s0015"><label>2.1</label><title>Definitive hosts – adult cestodes</title><p>Adult <italic>Echinococcus</italic> spp. cestodes were isolated from the small intestines of coyotes, red fox (<italic>Vulpes vulpes</italic>) and wolves collected from BC, Alberta (AB), Saskatchewan (SK), Manitoba (MB) and the Northwest Territories (NT) at the Zoonotic Parasite Research Unit (ZPRU) in Saskatoon, SK (<xref rid="t0005" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>; <xref rid="f0005" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>).

The original designation of only two genotypes, M1 (Asian and North American) and M2 (European), was likely the result of an underestimate of genetic diversity due to a smaller number of isolates from a limited geographic range than in our survey.

The occurrence of haplotype E in most Canadian regions suggests that the European-type strain found in a dog and in coyotes in central BC may be widespread within western Canada.

This further supports the hypothesis that the central North American population of this parasite was not a recent introduction from the Arctic (<xref rid="b0105" ref-type="bibr">Nakao et al., 2009</xref>). The deer mouse isolates (mostly haplotype A) are likely to be closely related to the central North American strain of <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> previously identified in South Dakota (<xref rid="b0105" ref-type="bibr">Nakao et al., 2009</xref>). Identification of six haplotypes from three Arctic fox samples may suggest that definitive host infections with multiple haplotypes are common. Mixed infections are likely the result of multiple haplotypes being found in intermediate hosts in a given region. It is possible that the Arctic fox fecal samples came from the same individual, rather than three different fox, as these samples were ground collected from Karrak Lake, NU. Alternatively, this observation could indicate mitochondrial heteroplasmy. <italic>E.</italic><italic>granulosus</italic> has been shown to exhibit heteroplasmy within some mitochondrial genes (<xref rid="b0015" ref-type="bibr">Bowles et al. 1995</xref>). Whether or not this heteroplasmic condition also exists within <italic>E. multilocularis</italic>, to our knowledge, has not been investigated. Further analysis, such as cloning and sequencing amplicons from single worms, is needed to explore this possibility.</p><p>It is important to note that the differences among <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> haplotypes are often only single nucleotide mutations, as compared to much greater diversity observed within the closely related <italic>E. granulosus</italic> species complex (<xref rid="b0105" ref-type="bibr">Nakao et al., 2009</xref>). Caution must be taken when interpreting data based on a single mitochondrial locus; however, the biogeographical significance of this genetic variation may become clearer with the increased availability of <italic>nad1</italic> sequences and comparison of samples from a broader geographic range. It is possible that single mutations were the result of errors during the amplification process; however, analysis in its entirety (from DNA extraction if possible) was repeated, for all haplotypes with a single sequence.</p><p>In Arctic Canada, as in Europe, it was assumed that the Arctic fox was the primary definitive host (<xref rid="b0025 b0035 b0185" ref-type="bibr">Choquette et al., 1962; Eaton and Secord, 1979; Wilson et al., 1995</xref>). However, a recent study suggested that wolves play a larger role in transmission than previously believed (<xref rid="b0145" ref-type="bibr">Schurer et al., 2013</xref>). Our study detected a minimum prevalence in wolves of 13%, as compared to 2–9% found in mainland Arctic fox (<xref rid="b0085 b0145" ref-type="bibr">Jenkins et al., 2013; Schurer et al., 2013</xref>). Likewise, the red fox was assumed to be the primary definitive host in southern Canada; however, recent studies suggest that coyotes may play a significant role (<xref rid="b0020 b0055" ref-type="bibr">Catalano et al., 2012; Gesy et al., 2013a</xref>). The identification of <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> in 5% of deer mice, and absence from a wide range of other rodent hosts, is consistent with findings from previous studies in central North America, although more intensive sampling over a broader geographic range is recommended (<xref rid="b0100" ref-type="bibr">Leiby et al., 1970</xref>). Analysis of both intermediate and definitive hosts from the same location would likely reveal haplotype similarities and identify definite ranges for each of the haplotypes detected.</p><p>Molecular characterization at multiple mitochondrial and nuclear loci of <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> from across the broad range occupied by this species in North America would provide greater genetic resolution at a broader spatial scale, significantly improving our ability to explore hypotheses about origins and relationships of <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> in Canada (<xref rid="b0120 b0185 b0105" ref-type="bibr">Rausch, 1985; Wilson et al., 1995; Nakao et al., 2009</xref>). <italic>E.</italic><italic>multilocularis</italic> was thought to have been introduced to Arctic North America through dispersal of Arctic fox across the Bering Strait (<xref rid="b0130 b0105" ref-type="bibr">Rausch, 1994; Nakao et al., 2009</xref>). The origins of the central North American population however, remains unclear (<xref rid="b0120 b0185 b0105" ref-type="bibr">Rausch, 1985; Wilson et al., 1995; Nakao et al., 2009</xref>). Prevailing theories include the anthropogenic introduction of European strains from the importation of European fox and/or genetic exchange between strains of <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> established in Arctic and prairie regions of North America through southward incursions of naturally infected Arctic fox (<xref rid="b0120 b0185 b0105" ref-type="bibr">Rausch, 1985; Wilson et al., 1995; Nakao et al., 2009</xref>). Additional research will characterize isolates in the current study at multiple mitochondrial loci to more fully understand the origins and relationships of <italic>E. multilocularis</italic> in North America and those found elsewhere across the circumpolar North, where this parasite continues to emerge and re-emerge as a public and animal health concern.</p></sec></body><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="b0005"><element-citation publication-type="journal" id="h0005"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Bartel</surname><given-names>M.H.</given-names></name><name><surname>Seesee</surname><given-names>F.M.</given-names></name><name><surname>Worley</surname><given-names>D.E.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Comparison of Montana and Alaska isolates of <italic>Echinococcus multilocularis</italic> in gerbils with observations on the cyst growth, hook characteristics, and host response</article-title><source>J.
