Detection of Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus ortleppi in Bhutan

open access: yesParasitology 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 granulosus sensu lato in animal intermediate hosts: What is with the organ location?

Veterinary parasitology, 2022
Organ or tissue tropism/preference in many parasites is essential for their establishment, survival and pathogenesis. In protozoan parasites e.g. Trypanosoma and Plasmodium, tissue tropism is associated with many important aspects such as transmission ...

Involvement of TIGIT in Natural Killer Cell Exhaustion and Immune Escape in Patients and Mouse Model With Liver Echinococcus multilocularis Infection

Hepatology, 2021
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a lethal helminthic liver disease caused by persistent infection with Echinococcus multilocularis. Although more attention has been paid to the immunotolerance of T cells caused by E.

Molecular variation in Echinococcus

Acta Tropica, 1993
In the past decade, molecular genetic approaches have revolutionised the study of population biology and taxonomy and have provided a vast accumulation of DNA sequence and other genetic data. DNA techniques, however, have only recently been applied to the study of helminth parasite populations yet, already, valuable information about population ...

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
