Echinococcus Equinus Found in Imported Donkeys (Equus asinus) From Central Asia

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The zoonotic tapeworm Echinococcus equinus (G4) has been reported primarily in equines across Europe, Africa, and West Asia, but its presence in donkeys in Central Asia had not been documented. This knowledge gap is critical given the substantial and growing Kyrgyzstan–China trade of live donkeys.

Human Alveolar Echinococcosis in Kyrgyzstan [PDF]

, 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 ...

Serum Metabolomics of Patients with Hepatic Cystic Echinococcosis

Biomedical Chromatography, Volume 39, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE), a liver manifestation of hydatid disease, is among the 17 neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) prioritized by the WHO for eradication by 2025. Although imaging and serological tests are currently the main diagnostic approaches for HCE, they have notable limitations in sensitivity and specificity.

Alveolar echinococcosis of the liver in children [PDF]

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, 2009
AbstractBackground/purposeAlveolar echinococcosis of the liver (AEL) is a zoonosis that is distributed in cold regions of the northern hemisphere. The disease is mostly found in adults and rarely in pediatric patients because it tends to be slow growing.Patients and methodsTen Japanese pediatric patients (under 15 years old) with AEL have been operated

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.
