Taenia martis in an Alaotran gentle lemur (Hapalemur alaotrensis): The importance of molecular identification

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 4, December 2024.
Abstract The cestode Taenia martis is a common parasite affecting mustelids, with rodents serving as intermediate hosts. However, infections with the larval stage have seldomly been described in primates. This report describes a case in an Alaotran gentle lemur (Hapalemur alaotrensis) that died of chronic kidney disease, and in which Taenia ...

Histopathological assessment of the viability of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis

Histopathology, Volume 85, Issue 6, Page 857-867, December 2024.
Decay of Echinococcosis multilocularis was analysed and haematoxylin and eosin (H&E)‐based histological criteria for viability assessment were defined. Subsequently, the use of mAbEm18, a well‐established serological viability marker, was validated for immunohistochemistry, revealing that mAbEm18‐immunohistochemistry (IHC) is also reliable for ...

First report of Echinococcus multilocularis in cats in Poland: a monitoring study in cats and dogs from a rural area and animal shelter in a highly endemic region

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Alveolar echinococcosis is a dangerous zoonotic disease caused by larval forms of Echinococcus multilocularis. In its life-cycle, the principal definitive host is the red fox; however, domesticated carnivorous animals (dogs and cats) can also act as ...

A systematic review and meta-analysis on anthelmintic control programs for Echinococcus multilocularis in wild and domestic carnivores

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2019
Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, is one of the most dangerous zoonoses in the Northern hemisphere.

Deciphering the role of miR-71 in Echinococcus multilocularis early development in vitro

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
Echinococcosis represents a major public health problem worldwide and is considered a neglected disease by the World Health Organization. The etiological agents are Echinococcus tapeworms, which display elaborate developmental traits that imply a complex

miRNA-seq of Echinococcus multilocularis Extracellular Vesicles and Immunomodulatory Effects of miR-4989

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Alveolar echinococcosis caused by Echinococcus multilocularis is an important zoonotic disease. In the infected mice, emu-miR-4989-3p is present in sera, but its role remains unknown.

Environmental risk factors and changing spatial patterns of human seropositivity for Echinococcus spp. in Xiji County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Human echinococcoses are parasitic helminth infections that constitute a serious public health concern in several regions across the world. Cystic (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) in China represent a high proportion of the total global ...

Spatial Distribution ofEchinococcus multilocularis, Svalbard, Norway

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
In Svalbard, Norway, the only intermediate host for Echinococcus multilocularis, the sibling vole, has restricted spatial distribution. A survey of feces from the main host, the arctic fox, showed that only the area occupied by the intermediate host is associated with increased risk for human infection.

Echinococcus multilocularis inoculation induces NK cell functional decrease through high expression of NKG2A in C57BL/6 mice

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
BackgroundAlveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis), and considered as public health issue. Parasite-host immune interaction is pivotal during infection.
