Echinococcus multilocularis in north Italy.

Parassitologia, 2006
Alveolar echinococcosis is a zoonotic infection caused by the metacestode of the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Fox populations living in the Alpine regions of Italy had been considered free from this parasite until 2002, when two infected foxes were detected in Bolzano province (Trentino Alto Adige region) near Austrian border.

Gangliosides of Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 1994
Gangliosides, glycosphingolipids with sialic acid, were found in metacestodes of Echinococcus multilocularis in low quantities. All gangliosides were resolved after preparative high-performance thin layer chromatography into four fractions. Cholera toxin was specifically bound to the major ganglioside, allowing the identification of it as a GM1 ...

A Bioengineered Nanovesicle Vaccine Boosts T-B cell Interaction for Immunotherapy of Echinococcus multilocularis.

Angewandte Chemie
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease, resulting from being infected with the metacestode larvae of the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis.

Echinococcus multilocularis

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2003
Echinococcus multilocularis is a tapeworm of foxes that may cause a zoonotic infection resulting in a highly pathogenic and potentially fatal chronic liver infestation called human alveolar echinococcosis. Radical liver resection currently offers the only potential cure. Although alveolar echinococcosis is a rare parasitic disease that is restricted to

Glycosphingolipids of Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1990
Neutral and acid glycosphingolipids of Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes that were obtained after intraperitoneal infection of Meriones unguiculatus have been analyzed by thin layer chromatography. Neutral and acid glycosphingolipids accounted for 95% and 5% of total glycosphingolipids, respectively.

Molecular Characterization of Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus from Cysts and Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Samples of Human Isolates in Northeastern Turkey

Vector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2020
Erzurum province of Turkey is known to be highly endemic for alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE). In this study, we confirmed Echinococcus multilocularis cases, searched genetic variations of the isolates, and–for the first time ...

Echinococcus multilocularis infection in horses in Poland

Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2020
A cross-sectional survey was performed to obtain first information on the prevalence of Echinococcus multilocularis infection in slaughter horses from central, eastern and southern Poland, a country with a highly endemic occurrence of this tapeworm in red foxes.

Echinococcus multilocularis: The parasite–host interplay

Experimental Parasitology, 2008
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a severe chronic helminthic disease caused by the intrahepatic tumor-like growth of the metacestode of Echinococcus multilocularis. Metacestodes are fluid-filled, asexually proliferating vesicles, which are entirely covered by the laminated layer, an acellular carbohydrate-rich surface structure that protects the ...

A model for the control of Echinococcus multilocularis in France

Veterinary Parasitology, 1995
In some areas of France the prevalence of Echinococcus multilocularis in foxes is as high as 50%, whereas less than one in a thousand voles (principally Microtus arvalis) are infected. In these regions the control of rabies in foxes is achieved by using helicopters to spread bait containing oral vaccine in capsules.
