Objective: To date, many studies have been performed on genotyping of E. granulosus s.l. in Turkey. However, a systematically analysis the data human genotypes Turkey is lacking. In this context, aim study to provide summary information about distribution E.granulosus which detected with molecular methods isolates Materials and Methods: Both English Turkish four international national databases up September 2022 were searched keywords related “Echinococcus” access eligible articles for our study. The selected transferred StatsDirect software performing meta-analysis. Results: Out 3497 from literature search, 24 records inclusion All obtained 34 cities all regions Total 815 cases whose sequenced identified. With present study, identified species s.l determined as follows, most common least: sensu stricto (G1-G3): 97.8%, E.equinus (G4): 0.12%, E.canadensis (G6-G10): 2.0%. addition, according proportion genotypes, while G1(48%; 95%CI: 40-49%) G1-G3 complex genotype (47%; 95%CI:41-48%) country, G3 (2.8%; 95%CI:1-3%) was Southeast Eastern Anatolia, G4 (0.12%; 95%CI:0.1-1%) only Central G6 (0.25%; 95%CI:0.2-1%) G7 (0.25% ; 0.2-1%) Aegean Marmara regions, G6/G7 ( 1.5% 0.7-2%) Aegean, Anatolia Anatolia. Conclusion: meta-analysis it has revealed that predominant humans cystic echinococcosis G1 complex. will be guide not other country. more in-depth are needed better understand characterization hosts such dogs, sheep cattle
