Comparative development of Echinococcus multilocularis in its definitive hosts [PDF]

, 2006
The comparative development of Echinococcus multilocularis was studied in its definitive hosts, the fox, dog, cat and raccoon dog, beyond the pre-patent period to 90 days post-infection. All host species, apart from cats were susceptible to infection and

eComment. Alveolar echinococcosis of the lung [PDF]

Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2013
We read with great interest Karaman et al.'s rare case concerning lung infection with Echinococcus alveolaris [1]. We would like to highlight two points concerning the conservative treatment and imaging characteristics of alveolar echinococcosis (AE). AE is a severe disease, with a mortality of over 90% in untreated patients.
