Metalloproteinases in the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus
International Journal for Parasitology, 1991Proteolytic 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, 1969Abstract 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, 1977Abstract 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, 1997The 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, 2008SummaryCystic 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, 1980SUMMARY 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.

Genetic typing of Echinococcus granulosus in Romania
Parasitology Research, 2005In Romania, cystic echinococcosis is endemic and affects, besides humans, various animal species including sheep, cattle, and swine. As yet, no molecular-genetic typing has been carried out to clearly identify the putative strains being transmitted there.

BIOLOGY AND SPECIATION OF ECHINOCOCCUS GRANULOSUS†
Australian Veterinary Journal, 1979SUMMARY: The biology of Echinococcus granulosus is reviewed and attention given to recent advances in our understanding of this parasite. In particular, studies on the parasite within the definitive host, an area which has been neglected in the past, have demonstrated our lack of knowledge concerning the cytodifferentiation of the adult cestode during

Comment on the status of Echinococcus granulosus in the UK
Parasitology Today, 1989Echinococcus granulosus is composed of a complex of strains, the status of which has caused controversy and doubt. All have different characteristics which have arisen from animal husbandry practices, resulting in isolation and restriction of gene flow, and/or from the reproductive characteristics of the organisms.

Treatment of Echinococcus granulosus Cysts
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1993dOSL,\. The major ohstack in the treatment of hydntid diseases in Turkey is the lack of patient compliance. Needless to say. the presence of only I00 mg tablet\ of mebendazole in Turkey and thc difficulty of swallowing 60 to 120 tablets at one time every day contrihutcs to the outcome.
