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.

Genetic typing of Echinococcus granulosus in Romania

Parasitology Research, 2005
In 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.

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.

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.

BIOLOGY AND SPECIATION OF ECHINOCOCCUS GRANULOSUS†

Australian Veterinary Journal, 1979
SUMMARY: 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

Treatment of Echinococcus granulosus Cysts

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1993
dOSL,\. 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.

Comment on the status of Echinococcus granulosus in the UK

Parasitology Today, 1989
Echinococcus 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.

Resistance to Echinococcus granulosus Infection in Lambs

The Journal of Parasitology, 1981
A high level of resistance of oral infection with Echinococcus granulosus eggs was stimulated in lambs by two or more subcutaneous injections of oncospheres given 14 days apart. The degree of resistance was significantly higher than that resulting from a single injection.

Development and morphological variability of Echinococcus granulosus

Parasitology Research, 1998
Characteristics are presented of Echinococcus granulosus strobila from dogs experimentally infected with protoscolices from a single cyst isolated from the liver of a domestic pig in a central Slovakian district. Adult cestodes are characterized mainly by 28-32 hooks highly variable in shape and size; 26-51 testes situated mostly throughout the ...

CT Findings in Hepatic Involvement by Echinococcus granulosus

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1984
The CT findings in hepatic involvement by Echinococcus granulosus are described. Pathognomonic signs of the hydatid nature of a cystic lesion are visualization of the cystic wall on plain CT, calcification of the cyst wall, daughter cysts, and membrane detachment.
