Echinococcosis [PDF]

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 1997
Hydatids, the intermediate stages, or metacestodes, of the tapeworm genus, Echinococcus, present a major immunological problem; they survive, grow and metastasize in immunized hosts which are protected against reinfection and possess effector mechanisms capable of killing the parasite.

Serum Metabolomics of Patients with Hepatic Cystic Echinococcosis. [PDF]

Biomed Chromatogr
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.

Echinococcosis

Mediterranean Journal of Infection Microbes and Antimicrobials, 2021
Echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus species. The life cycle involves a definitive host (dogs, wolves, jackals, and foxes) and an intermediate host. It is not transmitted from human to human. The most frequent agents are Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus) and Echinococcus multiloculoris (E. multiloculoris).
