‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

Extracorporeal Albumin Dialysis (OPAL) as Novel Therapeutic Bridging Option in Posthepatectomy Liver Failure

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Extracorporeal albumin dialysis (OPAL) effectively reduces bilirubin and improves other laboratory markers in posthepatectomy liver failure, particularly in secondary forms. It may serve as a bridging therapy to support hepatic recovery in critically ill patients, although prospective studies are needed to confirm its impact on survival.

Human alveolar echinococcosis in Slovenia [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2007
Between January 2001 and December 2005, 1263 patients suspected of having echinococcosis were screened serologically by indirect haemagglutination assay (IHA). IHA-positive patient sera were then retested by western blot for confirmation and differentiation between Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis infection.

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 ...

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 ...

Hydatid Cyst of the Thyroid Gland With Concurrent Hepatic Involvement: A Rare Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Hydatidosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, most commonly affects the liver and lungs, while thyroid involvement is exceptionally rare and can mimic other cystic thyroid lesions. We report a 40‐year‐old woman with no history of animal exposure who presented with anterior neck swelling, odynophagia, and abdominal discomfort. She had a prior

Immune Exhaustion in Chronic Infection and Cancer: Signaling Pathways and Therapeutic Interventions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Immune exhaustion is a well‐established hallmark of both cancer and chronic infection. This review proposes a novel “infection–exhaustion–tumor axis” framework, wherein chronic pathogens (e.g., oncogenic viruses) evade immune surveillance by hijacking inflammatory signaling to drive immune cell exhaustion, thereby creating immunosuppressive niches ...
