Morphological Characteristics of Alveolar and Cystic Echinococcosis Lesions in Human Liver and Bone
Pathogens, 2021 Among echinococcoses diseases of human interest, two have a global public health impact: cystic and alveolar echinococcosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato and Echinococcus multilocularis, respectively. Cystic and alveolar echinococcosis are

Pulmonary surfactant inhibition of nanoparticle uptake by alveolar epithelial cells [PDF]
Scientific Reports 10, 19436 (2020), 2020 Pulmonary surfactant forms a sub-micrometer thick fluid layer that covers the surface of alveolar lumen and inhaled nanoparticles therefore come in to contact with surfactant prior to any interaction with epithelial cells. We investigate the role of the surfactant as a protective physical barrier by modeling the interactions using silica-Curosurf ...

Diagnostic and Management Perspectives in Alveolar Echinococcosis: Review of Literature
Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2022 Alveolar echinococcosis is a life-threatening zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis. The disease usually primarily involves the liver and shows tumor-like growth.

Isolated Cerebral Alveolar Echinococcosis [PDF]
Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2018 Abstract Cerebral alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is rare and mostly associated with liver involvement. We report an exceptional case of a 62-year-old man with a hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia harboring a primary cerebral AE mimicking neurocysticercosis with >100 cerebral lesions and without liver involvement.

Intramuscular hydatid cyst of paraspinal muscle: A diagnostic challenge
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 11, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 Lamellated Membrane of Hydatid Cyst. Abstract Hydatid cyst is a zoonosis caused by ingestion of eggs of Echinococcus‐a tapeworm. Following ingestion of the eggs, oncosphere larvae are released which penetrate the intestinal wall to invade various organs of the body including liver, lungs, and skeletal muscles via. blood vessels.

Alveolar echinococcosis mimicking bilateral lung metastatic cancer
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2022 The incidence of alveolar echinococcosis caused by the larval forms of the Echinococcus multilocularis has increased in recent years. Lung metastases occur in 7-20% of patients with liver involvement1,2.

Glycosphingolipids in human parasites
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1625-1635, September 2023., 2023 The parasites that infect humans and animals include protozoans and helminths (worms). Their secretions and cellular membranes contain complex glycomolecules including glycoproteins and glycolipids. A class of glycolipids shared between humans and parasites are the glycosphingolipids (GSLs) containing a lipid (ceramide) linked to a glycan ...

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 17, Page 2614-2625, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Hydatidosis is a disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, which involves several organs of intermediate hosts. Evidence suggests a communication between hydatid cyst (HC) and hosts via extracellular vesicles. However, a little is known about the communication between EVs derived from HC fluid (HCF) and host cells.

Pathogens, 2022 Both alveolar (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE) are lacking pathognomonic clinical signs; consequently imaging technologies and serology remain the main pillars for diagnosis.
