Fasciola hepatica coinfection modifies the morphological and immunological features of Echinococcus granulosus cysts in cattle

Veterinary Research, 2020
Polyparasitism occurs when animals harbour multiple parasites concomitantly. It is a common occurrence but is generally understudied in wild and domestic animals. Fasciola hepatica and Echinococcus granulosus, which are helminths of ungulates, frequently

Echinococcus granulosus: The establishment of the metacestode in the liver is associated with control of the CD4+ T-cell-mediated immune response in patients with cystic echinococcosis and a mouse model

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
The larval stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (E. granulosus s.l.) caused a chronic infection, known as cystic echinococcosis (CE), which is a worldwide public health problem. The human secondary CE is caused by the dissemination of

Video‐Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) Versus Thoracotomy in the Treatment of Pulmonary Hydatid Cysts: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pulmonary hydatid cysts (PHC), resulting from infection by Echinococcus granulosus larvae, represent a substantial health risk in livestock‐raising areas, often causing respiratory symptoms and even death. The primary treatment for PHC involves surgical excision, either through open thoracotomy or video‐assisted ...

Spatiotemporal Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals the Dynamic Immunological Landscape of Alveolar Echinococcosis

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 18, May 15, 2025.
An unprecedented high‐resolution spatial atlas of the E. multilocularis infection foci is obtained, revealing the dynamic functions of neutrophils, Spp1+ macrophages, and fibroblasts during disease progression. The transition of parasite control strategy from “active killing” to “negative segregation” by the host may provide instructive insights into ...

An exceptional case of peritoneal cystic echinococcosis in a domestic cat in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 5, Page 254-260, May 2025.
A case of peritoneal cystic echinococcosis (CE) in a domestic cat was reported from Queensland, Australia. Physical examination of the cat indicated a large, distended abdomen, which when palpated appeared to be fluid‐filled. Ultrasonography showed numerous cysts with hyperechoic walls and anechoic contents within the cat's abdominal cavity.

Hydatid Cyst of Thyroid Gland: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Hydatid cysts in the thyroid gland are extremely rare, even in endemic areas. A 64‐year‐old male presented with a painless swelling on the left side of the thyroid swelling for 2 years. Ultrasonography revealed a large multiloculated anechoic lesion while fine needle aspiration cytology yielded clear watery to granular fluid containing ...
