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

Gangliosides of Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 1994Gangliosides, 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 ...

First detection of Echinococcus multilocularis in Croatia
Parasitology Research, 2017Echinococcus multilocularis has been spreading through Europe but has not yet been reported in Croatia. We report the results of a surveillance programme to detect E. multilocularis in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in different parts of Croatia. PCR-based screening of faecal samples from 238 red foxes in 2015 and 150 in 2016 indicate prevalences of 7.5% in

Detection of Echinococcus multilocularis in foxes in The Netherlands
Veterinary Parasitology, 1999Echinococcus multilocularis was demonstrated in 5 out of 272 foxes in The Netherlands close to the border with Germany and Belgium. Besides microscopic examination of mucosal scrapings, two different PCR assays were used based on the detection of E. multilocularis DNA in colon content.

Echinococcus multilocularis: The parasite–host interplay
Experimental Parasitology, 2008Alveolar 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 ...

Wilderness in the city: the urbanization of Echinococcus multilocularis
Trends in Parasitology, 2004A distinct increase in fox populations, particularly in urban areas, has been observed in Europe. This is of particular concern in endemic regions of the small fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, the aetiological agent of human alveolar echinococcosis.

Echinococcus multilocularis infection in horses in Poland
Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2020A 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: Characterization of a DNA probe
Acta Tropica, 1990A 0.6 kb DNA fragment has been isolated from a genomic sublibrary of the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis. This DNA-fragment showed a strong hybridization signal to 32PdCTP labeled total DNA prepared from E. multilocularis metacestode material. The fragment was subcloned into the Escherichia coli vector Bluescript BS+ resulting in the recombinant ...

A model for the control of Echinococcus multilocularis in France
Veterinary Parasitology, 1995In 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.
