Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst Mimicking Both Tuberculous Cavity and Aspergilloma: A Diagnostic Challenge in an Endemic Region

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a zoonotic disease endemic in many pastoral regions. Pulmonary involvement, although less common than hepatic, may present with nonspecific respiratory symptoms and mimic other pathologies such as tuberculosis, posing a diagnostic challenge.

Alveolar Echinococcosis Infection in a Monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) In Mashhad, Iran [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2012
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE), which is caused by ingestion of eggs of the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, is the most potentially lethal parasitic infection because of its tendency to invade and proliferate in the liver and the difficulty in ...

Risk Factors for Alveolar Echinococcosis in Humans [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
We conducted a case-control study to investigate risk factors for acquiring autochthonous alveolar echinococcosis in Germany. Forty cases and 120 controls matched by age and residence were interviewed. Patients were more likely than controls to have owned dogs that killed game (odds ratio [OR] = 18.0), lived in a farmhouse (OR = 6.4), owned dogs that ...

Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Study of Occupational Infection Risk With Zoonotic Pathogens in Austrian Veterinary Practitioners in the Year 2022

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
• Vaccination rates against rabies and TBEV and accordingly the respective seroprevalence rates exceed 90% among Austrian veterinary practitioners. • The prevalence of antibodies against HEV and the colonisation with MRSA increases with the age of the study participants from 6.2%/6.2% in the youngest age group to 23.3%/21.9% in the oldest group. • MRSA

Disseminated alveolar echinococcosis resembling metastatic malignancy: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017
Background Alveolar echinococcosis is a potentially lethal zoonosis caused by larval forms of the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Humans are aberrant intermediate hosts who become infected by ingestion of egg-contaminated food or water or via ...

The Release of Non‐Native Gamebirds Is Associated With Amplified Zoonotic Disease Risk

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.
Spillback is potentially an important mechanism by which non‐natives contribute to zoonotic disease emergence. We capitalise on quasi‐experimental releases of non‐native pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) to compare native pathogen prevalence between sites with similar local conditions but different non‐native densities. Prevalence of Borrelia sp.
