Molecular and morphological characterization of Echinococcus in cervids from North America [PDF]

, 2006
Many issues concerning the taxonomy of Echinococcus have been resolved in recent years with the application of molecular tools. However, the status of Echinococcus maintained in transmission cycles involving cervid intermediate hosts remains to be ...

Diagnostic Challenges and Surgical Management of Ovarian Hydatid Cyst: A Case Report From an Endemic Region and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Ultrasound imaging demonstrating a multilocular cystic lesion in the left ovary, characterized by internal echogenic septa, prompting further evaluation to assess potential underlying conditions. ABSTRACT Ovarian hydatid cysts are an infrequent presentation of the zoonotic condition caused by Echinococcus granulosus tapeworms. These cysts can easily be

Rostellar hook morphology of Echinococcus granulosus (Batsch, 1786) from natural and experimental Australian hosts, and its implications for strain recognition [PDF]

, 1990
An analysis of the rostellar hooks of Australian isolates of Echinococcus granulosus revealed that there was less variation in larval (metacestode) than adult characters and that metacestode characters could be measured directly from adult worms.

Immune Exhaustion in Chronic Infection and Cancer: Signaling Pathways and Therapeutic Interventions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Immune exhaustion is a well‐established hallmark of both cancer and chronic infection. This review proposes a novel “infection–exhaustion–tumor axis” framework, wherein chronic pathogens (e.g., oncogenic viruses) evade immune surveillance by hijacking inflammatory signaling to drive immune cell exhaustion, thereby creating immunosuppressive niches ...

Identification of a laminated layer-associated protein in Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes. [PDF]

, 1998
Echinococcus multilocularis is a cestode parasite that predominantly infects red and arctic foxes as definitive hosts. Ingestion of E. multilocularis eggs and subsequent post-oncospheral infection with the larval stage (metacestode) of the parasite ...

Primary Spinal Intradural Hydatid Cysts in a Child With Progressive Paraparesis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Primary spinal hydatid cyst is an uncommon form of echinococcosis, which may cause focal neurological deficits. We report an extremely rare case of spinal hydatic cyst with several diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. A 4‐year‐old boy was referred to our medical center suffering from progressive lower back pain, weakness and numbness in both

The dispersion of Echinococcus granulosus in the intestine of dogs [PDF]

, 1989
We studied the dispersion of adult Echinococcus granulosus in the intestine of experimentally infected dogs at 2 scales of habitat use. On a coarse scale, worms were found most frequently in the anterior third of the small intestine.

Reduced genetic variability within coding and non-coding regions of the Echinococcus multilocularis genome. [PDF]

, 1997
Echinococcus multilocularis, a vulpine intestinal tapeworm, is the causative agent of alveolar echinococosis in humans, one of the most severe and lethal parasitic infections in man.

The Role of Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Pathogenesis of Hepatic Echinococcosis: A Literature Review

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Hepatic echinococcosis (HE), a major zoonotic disease, remains endemic in pastoral regions of Western China, where its incidence is closely linked to geographical, livestock and sanitary conditions. The disease presents a significant clinical challenge due to the complexity of host–parasite interactions and a high recurrence rate. To date, the

Purification and characterization of a specific antigen from Echinococcus multilocularis.

, 1985
A polypeptide (Em2a) purified by affinity chromatography from the Echinococcus multilocularis metacestode showed a high degree of purity as assayed by SDS-PAGE and analytical isoelectrical focusing.
