SLC2A1 and cholesteryl ester measurement: The results of our bioinformatics analysis show that the EgGLUT1-ss gene sequence of E. granulosus s.s. differs significantly from those of unrelated species but has a close homology with EmGLUT1, derived from E. multilocularis; even closer sequences and similar biological functions may be expected for EgGLUT1 of all species within the E. granulosus s.l. cluster, but this should be specifically tested whenever the sequences of GLUT1 from other species become available, to ascertain the usefulness of the therapeutic approach targeting GLUT1 in CE whatever the species involved.
