Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato and Echinococcus multilocularis: A review [PDF]
Research in Veterinary Science, 2021 Echinococcus spp. have a global distribution and are found on every continent except Antarctica. Infections with these parasites are considered extremely serious, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality in addition to substantial economic losses to the livestock industry.

A novel RFLP-PCR method for the rapid diagnosis of Echinococcus multilocularis and different Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato species from tissue samples [PDF]
ParasiteBoth alveolar echinococcosis and cystic echinococcosis are zoonotic diseases affecting thousands of humans in Europe annually. Five Echinococcus species are known to be endemic in Europe, but with varying relative importance in humans and animals.

The Molecular Epidemiology of Echinococcus Infections
Pathogens, 2020 Molecular epidemiology (ME) is the application of molecular tools to determine the causation of disease. With infectious diseases, such as echinococcosis, this applies to identifying and characterising the aetiological agents and elucidating host range ...

Hydatid Cyst of the Thyroid Gland With Concurrent Hepatic Involvement: A Rare Case Report [PDF]
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Hydatidosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, most commonly affects the liver and lungs, while thyroid involvement is exceptionally rare and can mimic other cystic thyroid lesions. We report a 40‐year‐old woman with no history of animal exposure who presented with anterior neck swelling, odynophagia, and abdominal discomfort. She had a prior

Echinococcus species in wildlife
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeTransmission of Echinococcus spp. in life cycles that involve mainly wildlife is well recognized for those species with small mammals as intermediate hosts (e. g. E. multilocularis), as well as for E. felidis and the 'northern' genotypes of E. canadensis (G8 and G10). In contrast, the remaining taxa of E.
