The Role of Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Pathogenesis of Hepatic Echinococcosis: A Literature Review

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Hepatic echinococcosis (HE), a major zoonotic disease, remains endemic in pastoral regions of Western China, where its incidence is closely linked to geographical, livestock and sanitary conditions. The disease presents a significant clinical challenge due to the complexity of host–parasite interactions and a high recurrence rate. To date, the

Serodiagnosis of Echinococcus spp. infection: explorative selection of diagnostic antigens by peptide microarray.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
BackgroundProduction of native antigens for serodiagnosis of helminthic infections is laborious and hampered by batch-to-batch variation. For serodiagnosis of echinococcosis, especially cystic disease, most screening tests rely on crude or purified ...

Frequency and Genetic Characterization of Echinococcus granulosus in Paraffin‐Embedded Human Tissue Samples From the Northwest of Iran, West Azarbayjan

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objectives Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by the Echinococcus granulosus larval stage, poses health problems in the world, including Iran. This study is aimed at investigating the epidemiological and molecular characterization of E. granulosus collected from CE samples in Urmia, the northwest of Iran.

Evaluation of Imatinib and Its Combination With Albendazole Against Echinococcus granulosus Protoscoleces and Microcysts In Vitro

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Currently, benzimidazoles are the main drugs used for the treatment of hydatidosis. However, the available medications do not demonstrate the expected therapeutic efficacy. As a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, imatinib may interfere with parasite signaling pathways and exert antiparasitic effects.

Disparities in Echinococcosis Control in Xizang, China: An Assessment Based on the Health Resource Density Index

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Echinococcosis remains a major public health concern in Xizang, China, characterized by high endemicity in remote and underserved areas. Despite long‐term implementation of the national control program, the effectiveness of interventions may be constrained by insufficient and unevenly distributed health human resources (HHR).

Estimating the prevalence of Echinococcus spp. in a Tibetan fox (Vulpes ferrilata) population on the eastern Tibetan Plateau

Parasites & Vectors
Background The Tibetan fox (Vulpes ferrilata) is a crucial wild definitive host of Echinococcus cestodes on the Tibetan Plateau. Fecal detection of Echinococcus DNA (fecal prevalence) is commonly used to estimate Echinococcus spp.

Surveillance of Zoonotic Pathogens in Small Mammals Across Forests With Different Levels of Anthropization in Eastern France

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The emergence of infectious diseases associated with land‐use changes is well‐documented. However, the presence and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in small mammals within European forests, whether from rural development or urban greening, remain underexplored.
