Detection of Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus ortleppi in Bhutan

Parasitology International, 2017
In this pilot study, fecal samples were collected from community dogs around slaughterhouses and from the city of Thimphu (n=138) as well as from carnivores in the forest area around a farm in Bhutan (n=28). Samples were analyzed microscopically for the presence of taeniid eggs by the floatation and sieving method.

Echinococcus multilocularis

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2003
Echinococcus multilocularis is a tapeworm of foxes that may cause a zoonotic infection resulting in a highly pathogenic and potentially fatal chronic liver infestation called human alveolar echinococcosis. Radical liver resection currently offers the only potential cure. Although alveolar echinococcosis is a rare parasitic disease that is restricted to

Echinococcus multilocularis in Wisconsin

The Journal of Parasitology, 1984
The known geographic range of Echinococcus multilocularis is extended to include southern Wisconsin. E. multilocularis was reported from the arctic fox, Alopex lagopus L., on the mainland of Alaska by Rausch (1956, Am. J. trop. Med. Hyg. 5: 1086-1092) as the etiological agent of Alveolar Hydatid Disease on the North American Continent. Various workers (

ECHINOCOCCUS CYST OF THE EYEBALL

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1953
THE TAENIA echinococcus (Echinococcus granulosis) lives in the intestine of the dog, from which its egg is transmitted to the human stomach. From here, the young embryos penetrate the walls of the digestive tract, and the blood carries them to various other organs of the human body, for instance, the liver, lungs, and kidneys.

[Mixed infection of Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis in dog].

Zhongguo ji sheng chong xue yu ji sheng chong bing za zhi = Chinese journal of parasitology & parasitic diseases, 2006
To identify mixed infection of Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis in a dog from Xinjiang.Thirty dogs from the pasture area were dissected and over 10,000 Echinococcus adult worms were found from one dog. Morphological observation revealed possible mixed infection of the two Echinococcus species.
