Cystic and alveolar echinococcosis
2013Echinococcosis of the CNS is very rare. Cystic (CE) and alveolar echininococcosis (AE) vary in their clinical manifestations, course of disease, and prognosis, to the extent that clinicians should look at these two parasitic infections as distinctly different entities. CE causes displacement and pressure atrophy, while AE expands by infiltrative growth.

Imaging of cystic echinococcosis
Acta Tropica, 1997This paper reviews various imaging techniques in different organs. Ultrasound is the most popular and readily available technique. Special emphasis is given to computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and their advantages for a confident diagnosis and treatment.

Cystic echinococcosis in equids in Italy
Parasitology Research, 2008Between March 2003 and February 2007, the livers and the lungs of 2,231 horses from various Italian regions were examined for cystic echinococcosis presence at the time of slaughter. Hydatid cysts were found in six horses, namely four from Sardinia, one from Sicily, and one from Tuscany.

An update on immunodiagnosis of cystic echinococcosis
Acta Tropica, 2003Immunological parameters are increasingly investigated as possible markers for the development of cystic echinococcosis. Among the newer immunologic tests for assessing the host-parasite relationship, assay of immunoglobulin isotypes with the use of distinct parasite antigens and detection of Th1/Th2 cytokine expression are an interesting new approach.

Cystic echinococcosis in Europe and in Italy
Veterinary Research Communications, 2009Cystic Echinococcosis remains a public health problem especially in the Mediterranean Region and the economic impact of Echinococcosis is great despite efforts to control it. In this review, an attempt is made to assess the present epidemiological situation of Echinococcosis in Europe and Italy.

Management of osseous cystic echinococcosis
Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2017Osseous cystic echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most complicated and devastating conditions caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Its management is difficult and there is scant literature about it. Areas covered: A literature review was performed to provide an update on its diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. Expert commentary: In most cases diagnosis of

Cystic Echinococcosis in the Mediterranean
Current Tropical Medicine Reports, 2017Cystic echinococcosis (CE), a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato, is endemic in the Mediterranean, where pastoral activity is widespread, as the life cycle of this helminth involves sheep, as well as other livestock, as intermediate hosts. We review recent studies on CE from Mediterranean countries.

Cystic echinococcosis of the liver
Journal of Gastrointestinal SurgeryCystic echinococcosis (CE) is a widely endemic helminthic disease caused by infection with metacestodes (larval stage) of the Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm, which is transmitted by dogs and found on every continent, except Antarctica. This study aimed to review the life cycle, epidemiology, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment of E granulosus

Cystic echinococcosis in Southern Israel
Acta Parasitologica, 2016AbstractThe aim of this retrospective, population-based study was to characterize demographically and clinically cystic-echinococcosis (CE) in southern Israel, between 2005 and 2012. Newly-diagnosed (nd-CE) and past-diagnosed (pd-CE, diagnosed before the study) cases were defined.
