Biology and Systematics of Echinococcus. [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Parasitology, 2017
The biology of Echinococcus, the causative agent of echinococcosis (hydatid disease) is reviewed with emphasis on the developmental biology of the adult and metacestode stages of the parasite. Major advances include determining the origin, structure and functional activities of the laminated layer and its relationship with the germinal layer; and the ...

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.

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.

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

Intraocular Echinococcus multilocularis

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1987
Alveolar hydatid disease, caused by the organism Echinococcus multilocularis, is a potentially lethal helminthic infection. After initial hepatic infestation, the organism may spread locally and hematogenously to distant sites. Death occurs secondary to hepatic failure, local extension into vital structures, or metastasis to the brain or lungs.
