Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a neglected zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.). Exerting substantial health and economic impact on humans, and the agricultural industry of affected countries, CE is one of 20 neglected tropical diseases included in the 2021–2030 World Health Organization (WHO) roadmap to attain

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Currently, benzimidazoles are the main drugs used for the treatment of hydatidosis. However, the available medications do not demonstrate the expected therapeutic efficacy. As a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, imatinib may interfere with parasite signaling pathways and exert antiparasitic effects.

Echinococcus multilocularis: characterization of a DNA probe.
, 1990 A 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.
