The spread of Echinococcus multilocularis in the Balkans is facilitated by the golden jackal

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionHuman alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by the zoonotic tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, is an emerging disease in the Balkans. The presence of this tapeworm has been detected in several wildlife species, including the golden jackal ...

Transplantation of adipose-derived stem cells ameliorates Echinococcus multilocularis-induced liver fibrosis in mice.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
BackgroundAlveolar echinococcosis (AE) can cause severe liver fibrosis and could be fatal if left untreated. Currently, there are no effective therapeutic options for AE-induced liver fibrosis. In view of the therapeutic potential of adipose-derived stem

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).

A stochastic model of Echinococcus multilocularis transmission in Hokkaido, Japan, focusing on the infection process [PDF]

, 2008
Echinococcus multilocularis causes human alveolar echinococcus. In Japan, high prevalence of E. multilocularis among the fox population has been reported throughout Hokkaido. Accordingly, control measures, such as fox hunting and the distribution of bait

Disseminated Echinococcus multilocularis Infection without Liver Involvement in Child, Canada, 2018

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
An immunocompetent child in Canada received a diagnosis of disseminated alveolar Echinococcus multilocularis infection. The case lacked typical features of liver involvement and was possibly related to a rare congenital portosystemic shunt.
