Echinococcus multilocularisin Northern Hungary [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 To the Editor: Echinococcus multilocularis infection is one of the most dangerous zoonoses in the Northern Hemisphere and causes more human death than rabies in Europe. Recent data indicate that E. multilocularis infection is spreading geographically and is being transmitted at an increasing rate in Europe (Figure).

Host Proteins in <i>Echinococcus multilocularis</i> Metacestodes. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciMetacestodes of Echinococcus multilocularis are the causative agents of alveolar echinococcosis, a neglected, life-threatening, zoonotic disease. To study these metacestodes in vitro, a model system using a culture medium conditioned by rat hepatoma cells is available. A key question is how the parasite interacts with the host and, in particular, which
