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

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 ...

The 'bridge effect' by intermediate hosts may explain differential distributions of Echinococcus species.

Trends in Parasitology, 2022
Zoonotic cestodes of the genus Echinococcus show marked differences in their distribution patterns which have not been satisfactorily explained. Echinococcus multilocularis is limited to the Holarctic, whereas species in the Echinococcus granulosus sensu

Dual Role of Hepatic Macrophages in the Establishment of the Echinococcus multilocularis Metacestode in Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Echinococcus multilocularis larvae, predominantly located in the liver, cause a tumor-like parasitic disease, alveolar echinococcosis (AE), that is characterized by increased infiltration of various immune cells, including macrophages, around the lesion ...
