Molecular Screening of Echinococcus spp. and Other Cestodes in Wild Carnivores from Central Italy

Veterinary Sciences, 2023
Tapeworm infections are among the most relevant parasitic diseases in humans and animals. Tapeworms from the Genus Echinococcus are particularly important as they can cause cystic or alveolar echinococcosis.

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.

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

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.

Mitochondrial genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of Echinococcus multilocularis in Europe.

International Journal of Parasitology
The cestode Echinococcus multilocularis is the causative agent of alveolar echinococcosis, a fatal zoonotic parasitic disease of the northern hemisphere. Red foxes are the main reservoir hosts and, likely, the main drivers of the geographic spread of the

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 ...

Echinococcus multilocularisin Northern Hungary

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
To the Editor: Echinococcus multilocularis infection is one of the most dangerous zoonoses in the Northern Hemisphere and causes more human death than rabies in Europe. Recent data indicate that E. multilocularis infection is spreading geographically and is being transmitted at an increasing rate in Europe (Figure).

Hunting and Stray Dogs as Reservoirs of Echinococcus Species

Animals
In Serbia, human echinococcosis cases are predominantly diagnosed as the cystic form, caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s. l.) complex tapeworms.

Monoclonal antibody-based localization of major diagnostic antigens in metacestode tissue, excretory/secretory products, and extracellular vesicles of Echinococcus species

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Alveolar (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE) are severe parasitic zoonoses caused by the larval stages of Echinococcus multilocularis and E. granulosus sensu lato, respectively.
