‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

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 ...

Hydatid Cyst of the Thyroid Gland With Concurrent Hepatic Involvement: A Rare Case Report
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Hydatidosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, most commonly affects the liver and lungs, while thyroid involvement is exceptionally rare and can mimic other cystic thyroid lesions. We report a 40‐year‐old woman with no history of animal exposure who presented with anterior neck swelling, odynophagia, and abdominal discomfort. She had a prior

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.

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 ...

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
