Enrichment of Helminth Mitochondrial Genomes From Faecal Samples Using Hybridisation Capture

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT New approaches are urgently needed to enrich rare or low‐abundant DNA in complex samples. Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) inhabit heterogeneous environments, including the gastrointestinal tract of their host as adults and are excreted as eggs and larvae in faeces, complicating our understanding of their biology and the use of genetic tools ...

Mathematical modeling of Echinococcus multilocularis transmission [PDF]

Parasitology International, 2006
A mathematical model for the transmission cycle of Echinococcus multilocularis would be useful for estimating its prevalence, and the model simulation can be instrumental in designing various control strategies. This review focuses on the epidemiological factors in the E.

Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus shiquicus in a small mammal community on the eastern Tibetan Plateau: host species composition, molecular prevalence, and epidemiological implications

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background The eastern part of the Tibetan Plateau is now recognized as an endemic region with the highest reported human infection rates in the world of human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) caused by Echinococcus multilocularis.

The Effect of Climate Change on Emergence and Evolution of Zoonotic Diseases in Asia

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 587-611, November 2025.
ABSTRACT As the climate of Asia changes under the influence of global warming, the incidence and spatial distribution of known zoonoses will evolve, and new zoonoses are expected to emerge as a result of greater exposure to organisms which currently occur only in wildlife.

Combining Computed Tomography and Histology Leads to an Evolutionary Concept of Hepatic Alveolar Echinococcosis

Pathogens, 2020
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by the intermediate stage of Echinococcus multilocularis. We aimed to correlate computed tomography (CT) data with histology to identify distinct characteristics for different lesion types.

Serum Metabolomics of Patients with Hepatic Cystic Echinococcosis

Biomedical Chromatography, Volume 39, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE), a liver manifestation of hydatid disease, is among the 17 neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) prioritized by the WHO for eradication by 2025. Although imaging and serological tests are currently the main diagnostic approaches for HCE, they have notable limitations in sensitivity and specificity.

Estimating the prevalence of Echinococcus spp. in a Tibetan fox (Vulpes ferrilata) population on the eastern Tibetan Plateau

Parasites & Vectors
Background The Tibetan fox (Vulpes ferrilata) is a crucial wild definitive host of Echinococcus cestodes on the Tibetan Plateau. Fecal detection of Echinococcus DNA (fecal prevalence) is commonly used to estimate Echinococcus spp.

Primary Hydatid Cyst of Neck Misdiagnosed as Lipoma: A Rare Case Report From Nepal

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus tapeworm infection, presents a significant health concern, particularly in low and middle‐income countries. This zoonotic disease predominantly affects the liver and lungs but can occur in various locations throughout the body.

Echinococcus multilocularis in Urban Coyotes, Alberta, Canada

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Echinococcus multilocularis is a zoonotic parasite in wild canids. We determined its frequency in urban coyotes (Canis latrans) in Alberta, Canada. We detected E. multilocularis in 23 of 91 coyotes in this region. This parasite is a public health concern
