Echinococcus granulosus genotypes in Iran. [PDF]

open access: yesGastroenterology and hepatology from bed to bench, 2014
Hydatidosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus is one of the most important zoonotic diseases, throughout most parts of the world. Hydatidosis is endemic in Iran and responsible for approximately 1% of admission to surgical wards. There are extensive genetic variations within E.

Echinococcus granulosus as a Promising Therapeutic Agent against Triplenegative Breast Cancer

Current Cancer Therapy Reviews, 2023
Breast cancer is a major cause of cancer deaths in women, with approximately 1.2 million new cases per year. Current treatment options for breast cancer include surgery, radiation, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy.

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.
