Echinococcus multilocularisin Dogs, Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
To the Editor: Alveolar echinococcosis in humans is endemic in Japan; however, the causal agent, Echinococcus multilocularis, has been restricted to the northernmost insular prefecture of Hokkaido, where the Tsugaru Strait acts as a natural physical barrier against migration to the mainland. Two E.

Prevalence and distribution of Echinococcus species in domestic dogs and wild canids in Pennsylvania: KeyScreen® GI Parasite PCR testing of fecal samples

One Health
Echinococcus species are zoonotic cestodes found worldwide, posing a risk to humans and animals. Echinococcus multilocularis and E. granulosus sensu lato (s.l.) are both a concern in North America.

Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus in canines in North-Khorasan Province, northeastern Iran, identified using morphology and genetic characterization of mitochondrial DNA

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Canids are definitive hosts of Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus. This study aimed to survey these two Echinococcus species in canids of North-Khorasan Province, northeastern Iran, using morphological criteria and genetic

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

Purine metabolism in Echinococcus multilocularis

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1998
The activities of the enzymes in Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes involved in purine salvage were studied by HPLC. As in most parasites, this cestode relies entirely on salvage of preformed bases and nucleosides for its purine requirement. Therefore, these enzymes may be targets for drugs in the chemotherapeutic treatment of diseases caused by ...

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 ...

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

Control Strategy forEchinococcus multilocularis

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Echinococcus multilocularis, the causative agent of zoonotic alveolar echinococcosis, can be controlled effectively by the experimental delivery of anthelminthic baits for urban foxes. Monthly baiting over a 45-month period was effective for long-lasting control. Trimonthly baiting intervals were far less effective and did not prevent parasite recovery.
