Primary Mediastinal Pleural Hydatid Cyst Mimicking Tuberculous Pleuritis: A Case Report. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Hydatid disease, caused by various Echinococcus species, is endemic in developing countries and most commonly affects the liver and lungs. Approximately 7.4% of cases involve intrathoracic extrapulmonary locations, with pleural involvement usually resulting from rupture of adjacent hepatic or pulmonary cysts.

Echinococcus shiquicus and Echinococcus felidis
, 2015 Currently, ten genotypes (G1-G10) of Echinococcus Sensu Lato have been explicitly identified on the basis of taxonomic criteria. These include morphometric keys, host specificity, geographical distribution, phylogenetic analysis and genome mapping. However, a few emergent species of genus Echinococcus have been indigenously confirmed in some autonomous

Study of the saiga helminth fauna and Ural sheep in the western region of Kazakhstan
Open Veterinary Journal, 2023 Background: Contact between wild (saiga) and domestic (sheep) animals on pastures result in a composite community of helminths. Wild animals like saigas are vulnerable to parasites and the diseases they transmit are fatal. Adults may be less susceptible
