In Vitro and In Vivo Effects of Tamoxifen against Larval Stage Echinococcus granulosus [PDF]

, 2014
Cystic echinococcosis is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval stage of the cestode Echinococcus granulosus. Chemotherapy currently employs benzimidazoles; however, 40% of cases do not respond favorably.

Albendazole increases the inflammatory response and the amount of Em2-positive small particles of Echinococcus multilocularis (spems) in human hepatic alveolar echinococcosis lesions. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by the metacestode stage of Echinococcus multilocularis. The inflammatory response to this infection is influenced by the interaction of the parasite with the host.

Morphological Characteristics of Alveolar and Cystic Echinococcosis Lesions in Human Liver and Bone

Pathogens, 2021
Among echinococcoses diseases of human interest, two have a global public health impact: cystic and alveolar echinococcosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato and Echinococcus multilocularis, respectively. Cystic and alveolar echinococcosis are

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

A new SYBR green real-time PCR assay for semi-quantitative detection of Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus canadensis DNA on bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus)

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2019
Berries and vegetables are potential transmission vehicles for eggs of pathogenic parasites, such as Echinococcus spp. We developed a SYBR Green based semi-quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) method for detection of Echinococcus multilocularis and ...

2-Deoxy-D-glucose and combined 2-Deoxy-D-glucose/albendazole exhibit therapeutic efficacy against Echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces and experimental alveolar echinococcosis.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) is a glucose analog used as a promising anticancer agent. It exerts its effects by inhibiting the glycolytic energy metabolism to deplete cells of energy.

First detection of Echinococcus multilocularis in Bosnia and Herzegovina

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022
Echinococcus multilocularis has been spreading through Central Eastern Europe but has not yet been reported in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Recently, this parasite is confirmed in Croatia suggesting the movement of the parasite's distribution limit ...

Factors influencing the development and carbohydrate metabolism of Echinococcus granulosus in dogs [PDF]

, 1998
Echinococcus granulosus adult worms, 35 days postinfection, were measured for dispersion in the intestines of 10 dogs, a range of morphological characters, and the excreted end products of carbohydrate catabolism following 4 hr incubation in vitro.

The effects of dog management on Echinococcus spp. prevalence in villages on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, China

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background The pastoral area of the eastern Tibetan Plateau is highly endemic for human echinococcosis. Domestic dogs are the main definitive host for the transmission of both Echinococcus granulosus (sensu lato) and E. multilocularis to humans.
