Identification of Echinococcus granulosus Genotypes G1 and G3 by SNPs Genotyping Assays

Pathogens, 2021
Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.) is the causative agent of cystic echinococcosis in animals and humans. Different E. granulosuss.l. genotypes exhibit great diversity in their life cycle, host selectivity and pathogenicity.

Echinococcosis

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.

Pulmonary echinococcosis [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2003
Echinococcosis or hydatid disease is caused by larvae of the tapewormEchinococcus. Four species are recognised and the vast majority of infestations in humans are caused byE. granulosus.E. granulosuscauses cystic echinococcosis, which has a worldwide distribution. Humans are exposed less frequently toE.

Can a Solitary Pulmonary Nodule With Positive PET Scan in a Heavy Smoker be Something Other Than Lung Cancer? A Case Report of Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst and Literature Review. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) in a heavy smoker patient is commonly considered a lung cancer. However, in endemic regions, differential diagnosis should include pulmonary hydatid cyst. We present a 65‐year‐old heavy smoker male with a 5 cm SPN. He had negative serology, and inconclusive PET‐CT. So, it mimicked malignancy.
