Hydatid Cyst of the Right Atrium With Hepatic and Pulmonary Involvement and Concomitant Pulmonary Embolism, Presenting With Massive Haemoptysis: A Case Report [PDF]

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) shows a large, well‐circumscribed multicystic mass with multiple internal cysts of varying sizes which represent daughter cysts involving the RA cavity, highly suggestive of hydatid cyst of right atrium, a rare phenomenon of cardiac Echinococcus.

Mechanism of Fibrosis Induced by Echinococcus spp.

Diseases (Basel, Switzerland), 2019
Infection with Echinococcus spp. causes fibrosis in various vital organs, including the liver and lungs. Hepatic fibrosis is a pathological feature of Echinococcus infection that destroys normal liver tissue, leading to jaundice, cholecystitis, portal ...

Gray wolves as sentinels for the presence of Echinococcus spp. and other gastrointestinal parasites in France

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023
Over the past 30 years, the gray wolf population has recovered in France, initially to wolves from Italy passing through the Alps. The population is carefully monitored, but little information is available on their helminth fauna, which includes ...

Asian Admixture in European Echinococcus multilocularis Populations: New Data From Poland Comparing EmsB Microsatellite Analyses and Mitochondrial Sequencing

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
The cestode Echinococcus multilocularis is the causative agent of a severe zoonotic disease: alveolar echinococcosis (AE). The parasite is distributed over a vast area in northern Eurasia and North America, but the impact of AE on human health is highly ...

Echinococcus multilocularis drives the polarization of macrophages by regulating the RhoA-MAPK signaling pathway and thus affects liver fibrosis

Bioengineered, 2022
Echinococcus multilocularis is a small parasite that causes alveolar echinococcosis. It primarily induces liver disorder, such as liver fibrosis and even liver cancer, which severely endangers human lives.

Environmental Contamination by Echinococcus spp. Eggs as a Risk for Human Health in Educational Farms of Sardinia, Italy

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is a severe zoonosis caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. These parasites are naturally transmitted between canid definitive hosts that harbour the adult stage in the intestine, and mainly ...
