Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.

Echinococcus multilocularis Infection, Southern Ontario, Canada

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
Alveolar echinococcosis, the disease caused by infection with the intermediate stage of the Echinococcus multilocularis tapeworm, is typically fatal in humans and dogs when left untreated. Since 2012, alveolar echinococcosis has been diagnosed in 5 dogs,

In vitro metacestodicidal activities of genistein and other isoflavones against Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus

, 2006
Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus metacestode infections in humans cause alveolar echinococcosis and cystic echinococcosis, respectively, in which metacestode development in visceral organs often results in particular organ failure.

Future Projection of Cystic Echinococcosis in Iran to 2040: A Secondary Analysis Based on Global Burden of Disease (2021)

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Hydatid cyst disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus poses a major zoonotic threat in Iran, especially in rural and pastoral areas. It causes considerable public health and economic costs due to high treatment expenses, decreased livestock productivity, and carcass condemnation. Methods We applied the illness‐death model (

Genetic variability in parasites and host-parasite interactions [PDF]

, 1996
We have examined genetic variability in parasites in the context of ecological interactions with the host. Recent research on Echinococcus, Giardia and Cryptosporidium has been used to illustrate: (i) the problems that parasite variability and species ...

Large Hydatid Cyst in the Cardiac Interventricular Septum: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 1538-1542, July/August 2026.
Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease with a high incidence in pastoral areas in Tibet. The heart is an uncommon location of echinococcosis, and involvement of the interventricular septum is even rarer. This disease can remain asymptomatic for a long time, but may result in cardiac tamponade and sudden death.

Unusual presentation of hydatid disease with recurrence over five years in central India

Chronic Diseases Journal
BACKGROUND: Human hydatid disease (HD) is a chronic parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus species. Classic human hydatid cystic disease is a neglected zoonotic disease caused by the larva of cestode Echinococcus granulosus, leading to serious life ...

Clinical case reports

Исследования и практика в медицине, 2019
Echinococcosis is a severe parasitic disease with a fecal-oral mechanism of the pathogen transmission. It caused by the introduction into the organism and development in the body of the larval stage of tapeworm of the genus Echinococcus, with the ...
