Serotonin stimulates Echinococcus multilocularis larval development
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Serotonin is a phylogenetically ancient molecule that is widely distributed in most metazoans, including flatworms. In addition to its role as a neurotransmitter, serotonin acts as a morphogen and regulates developmental processes.

In vitro and in vivo efficacy of thiacloprid against Echinococcus multilocularis
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a chronic zoonosis caused by the larval form of Echinococcus multilocularis ( E. multilocularis ). Current chemotherapy against AE has relied on albendazole and mebendazole, which only exhibit parasitostatic and

Effect of anacardic acid against echinococcosis through inhibition of VEGF-induced angiogenesis
Veterinary Research, 2019 Echinococcosis is a zoonotic infection caused by cestode species of the genus Echinococcus, with limited treatment options. It is urgent to develop new anti-hydatid agent.

Investigation of Echinococcus multilocularis in foxes and dogs in Pakistan by detection of copro-DNA
Parasitology Research, 2021 Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonosis caused by Echinococcus multilocularis, a heteroxenous parasite belonging to Cestoda class. AE is currently considered an important public health issue, but epidemiological and notably molecular data from several

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.
