Epidemic cystic and alveolar echinococcosis in Kyrgyzstan: an analysis of national surveillance data

The Lancet Global Health, 2020
Summary: Background: Human cystic and alveolar echinococcosis are among the priority neglected zoonotic diseases for which WHO advocates control. The incidence of both cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis has increased substantially in the ...

The Global Burden of Alveolar Echinococcosis

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is known to be common in certain rural communities in China whilst it is generally rare and sporadic elsewhere. The objective of this study was to provide a first estimate of the global incidence of this disease by country.

Human Alveolar Echinococcosis in Kyrgyzstan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Human echinococcosis is a reportable disease in Kyrgyzstan. Between 1995 and 2011, human alveolar echinococcosis increased from 60 cases per year. The origins of this epidemic, which started in 2004, may be linked to the socioeconomic changes that followed the dissolution of the former Soviet Union.
