Gangliosides, glycosphingolipids with sialic acid, were found in metacestodes of Echinococcus multilocularis in low quantities. All gangliosides were resolved after preparative high-performance thin layer chromatography into four fractions. Cholera toxin was specifically bound to the major ganglioside, allowing the identification of it as a GM1. Precise structure of the four fractions was determined by sequential degradation by exoglycosidases, gas chromatography, electron impact mass spectrometry and liquid secondary ion-mass spectrometry. Beside GM1, the other fractions were GM3, GD1a and, at a lesser percentage, GM2, all belonging to the same a-ganglio-series. The ceramide part of these parasite gangliosides contained sphingosine associated to unsaturated n24, saturated n24 and n16 fatty acids.
