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: 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.

Echinococcus multilocularis: a political zoonosis [PDF]
Companion Animal, 2013 Echinococcus multilocularis is a tapeworm of canids and is ranked among the world’s most lethal zoonoses. Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) provide a natural reservoir of infection but the urbanisation of the red fox and it’s increase in numbers across Europe have brought E.

Lipids of Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1988Abstract 1. 1. Lipid distribution of Echinococcus multilocularis was as follows; neutral lipid 48.5%; glycolipid 8.4%; and phospholipid 43.0%. 2. 2. Neutral and phospholipid compositions were determined by high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and densitometry. 3. 3.

Free ceramides of Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1995Free ceramides were isolated and purified from the metacestodes of Echinococcus multilocularis. Two different fractions were obtained by preparative thin-layer chromatography. Their structure was determined by gas chromatography and electron impact mass spectrometry of trimethylsilylated derivatives.

Echinococcus multilocularis: A Model for Imaging Research
The Journal of Parasitology, 1991Magnetic resonance images of transverse, sagittal, and coronal sections of Meriones unguiculatus abdomens experimentally infected with Echinococcus multilocularis revealed alveolar cyst masses that were especially prominent in the late phase of infection.

The impact of globalisation on the distribution of Echinococcus multilocularis
Trends in Parasitology, 2012In the past three decades, Echinococcus multilocularis, the cause of human alveolar echinococcosis, has been reported in several new countries both in definitive hosts (canids) as well as in people. Unless treated, infection with this cestode in people is fatal.

Immunoregulation in larval Echinococcus multilocularis infection
Parasite Immunology, 2016SummaryAlveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a clinically very severe zoonotic helminthic disease, characterized by a chronic progressive hepatic damage caused by the continuous proliferation of the larval stage (metacestode) of Echinococcus multilocularis. The proliferative potential of the parasite metacestode tissue is dependent on the nature/function of ...
