Echinococcus granulosus in Finland

Veterinary Parasitology, 2003
Echinococcus granulosus is shown to occur in eastern Finland in a sylvatic cycle involving wolves (Canis lupus) as the definitive host and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) and probably also elk (Alces alces) and the wild forest reindeer (Rangifer tarandus fennicus) as intermediate hosts. Even though the prevalence of 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 Characterization of Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus from Cysts and Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Samples of Human Isolates in Northeastern Turkey.

Vector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2020
Erzurum province of Turkey is known to be highly endemic for alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE). In this study, we confirmed Echinococcus multilocularis cases, searched genetic variations of the isolates, and-for the first time ...

Identification of Echinococcus granulosus eggs

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2002
The eggs from Echinococcus granulosus contaminate the environment spreading out the disease among the herbivorous. The differential diagnosis of the embriophores recovered from the soil is very difficult by morphologic and immunologic methods. In this paper we evaluate the EgO/DNA-IM1 for identification of E.

Metalloproteinases in the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus

International Journal for Parasitology, 1991
Proteolytic activity in hydatid cyst fluid, cyst membranes and protoscoleces of E. granulosus was analyzed by electrophoresis in gelatin-containing polyacrylamide gels, including characterization with a set of protease inhibitors. All contained metalloproteinases in the range 60-120 kDa, with neutral/alkaline pH optima.

Echinococcus granulosus: Ultrastructure of microtriches

Experimental Parasitology, 1969
Abstract The tegumental microtriches of Echinococcus granulosus are covered by a plasma membrane with two electron-dense layers each 40–55 A thick and 40–60 A apart. It is different from most plasma membranes in showing a “sieve-like” structure, forming a surface “mosaic” with a roughly hexagonal pattern presumably related to the assimilatory ...

Resistance of dogs to Echinococcus granulosus

International Journal for Parasitology, 1977
Abstract Further studies on the immunization of dogs against E. granulosus indicated that certain dogs have a natural resistance, which is not mediated by specific antibodies or sensitized lymphocytes to tapeworm secretory antigens. In a pilot experiment with two pups, E.

The early stages of Echinococcus granulosus development

Acta Tropica, 1997
The paper points out the essential aspects of host/parasite relationship during the development of oncospheres (ONC) of Echinococcus granulosus into an early cyst. Secretions of the penetration glands in the hatched ONC causes lysis of host tissue during penetration of the activated ONC.

Echinococcus granulosus Infection in Spain

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2008
SummaryCystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by the cestode Echinococcus granulosus is an endemic disease in Spain. Although specific control programmes initiated in the 1980s have led to marked reductions in CE infection rates in Spain, the disease still remains an important human and animal health problem in many regions of the country.

Echinococcus granulosus in Dogs in Bangladesh

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1980
SUMMARY A survey was carried out during the period February 1975 to January 1978 to find the frequency of Echinococcus granulosus in dogs. A total of 611 dogs originating from different places of the country were examined. The frequency of infection varied considerably, the highest (75.79%) being recorded in dogs in and around the slaughterhouses.
