Echinococcus multilocularis in Estonia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
To the Editor: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) caused by Echinococcus multilocularis is one of the most important emerging zoonosis in Europe. The fatality rate is >90% in untreated patients (1). In Europe, the distribution range of the zoonotic tapeworm E.

Echinococcus multilocularis in Urban Coyotes, Alberta, Canada [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Echinococcus multilocularis is a zoonotic parasite in wild canids. We determined its frequency in urban coyotes (Canis latrans) in Alberta, Canada. We detected E. multilocularis in 23 of 91 coyotes in this region. This parasite is a public health concern

In vitro metabolomic footprint of the Echinococcus multilocularis metacestode [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonotic disease that is deadly if left untreated. AE is caused by the larval metacestode stage of the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis.

Echinococcus granulosussensu lato and Echinococcus multilocularis: A review.

Research in Veterinary Science, 2020
Echinococcus spp. have a global distribution and are found on every continent except Antarctica. Infections with these parasites are considered extremely serious, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality in addition to substantial economic losses to the livestock industry.

Host Proteins in <i>Echinococcus multilocularis</i> Metacestodes. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Metacestodes 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

Echinococcus multilocularis drives the polarization of macrophages by regulating the RhoA-MAPK signaling pathway and thus affects liver fibrosis

Bioengineered, 2022
Echinococcus multilocularis is a small parasite that causes alveolar echinococcosis. It primarily induces liver disorder, such as liver fibrosis and even liver cancer, which severely endangers human lives.

Echinococcus multilocularis and Other Taeniid Metacestodes of Muskrats in Luxembourg: Prevalence, Risk Factors, Parasite Reproduction, and Genetic Diversity

Pathogens, 2022
Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) are competent intermediate hosts for Echinococcus multilocularis, are frequently infected with this zoonotic cestode, and have even been proposed as a target species to monitor endemicity levels of this parasite.

Albendazole reduces hepatic inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum-stress in a mouse model of chronic Echinococcus multilocularis infection

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Background Echinococcus multilocularis causes alveolar echinococcosis (AE), a rising zoonotic disease in the northern hemisphere. Treatment of this fatal disease is limited to chemotherapy using benzimidazoles and surgical intervention, with frequent ...

Echinococcus multilocularis protoscoleces enhance glycolysis to promote M2 Macrophages through PI3K/Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway

Pathogens and Global Health, 2022
Alveolar Echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. The primary objective of this study is to explore whether Echinococcus multilocularis protoscoleces (PSCs) regulate ...
