Frequency and Genetic Characterization of Echinococcus granulosus in Paraffin‐Embedded Human Tissue Samples From the Northwest of Iran, West Azarbayjan

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objectives Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by the Echinococcus granulosus larval stage, poses health problems in the world, including Iran. This study is aimed at investigating the epidemiological and molecular characterization of E. granulosus collected from CE samples in Urmia, the northwest of Iran.

Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Signaling Involves Echinococcus–Host Intercommunication: A Potential Therapeutic Target in Hepatic Echinococcosis

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Echinococcosis, one of the most serious and life-threatening parasitic forms of zoonosis worldwide, is caused by the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus) and Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis).

Structural changes and expression of hepatic fibrosis-related proteins in coculture of Echinococcus multilocularis protoscoleces and human hepatic stellate cells

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Echinococcus multilocularis is the causative agent of human hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE). AE can cause damage to several organs, primarily the liver, and have severe outcomes, such as hepatic failure and encephalopathy.

Evaluation of Imatinib and Its Combination With Albendazole Against Echinococcus granulosus Protoscoleces and Microcysts In Vitro

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.

A comparative study of different immunoassays to detect specific antibodies to Echinococcus spp. in human sera

Helminthologia, 2020
Human echinococcosis, one of the most serious of parasitic zoonoses, is caused by the larval stages of taeniid cestodes of the genus Echinococcus. The study aimed to assess the reliability of the detection of specific antibodies to E.

Surveillance of Zoonotic Pathogens in Small Mammals Across Forests With Different Levels of Anthropization in Eastern France

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The emergence of infectious diseases associated with land‐use changes is well‐documented. However, the presence and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in small mammals within European forests, whether from rural development or urban greening, remain underexplored.

Prevalence and geographic distribution of Echinococcus genus in wild canids in southern Québec, Canada.

PLoS ONE
Echinococcus spp. is an emerging zoonotic parasite of high concern. In Canada, an increase in the number of human and animal cases diagnosed has been reported, but information regarding the parasite's distribution in wildlife reservoir remains limited. A

Serodiagnosis of Echinococcus spp. infection: explorative selection of diagnostic antigens by peptide microarray.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
BackgroundProduction of native antigens for serodiagnosis of helminthic infections is laborious and hampered by batch-to-batch variation. For serodiagnosis of echinococcosis, especially cystic disease, most screening tests rely on crude or purified ...
