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

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.

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.

Exploring the popularity of raw meat‐based diets for dogs and cats: A cross‐sectional opinion survey in Spain

Veterinary Record, Volume 196, Issue 10, 17/24 May 2025.
Abstract Background Research on the general public's knowledge and usage patterns of pet food, particularly regarding raw meat‐based diets (RMBDs), is limited in many countries, including Spain. Methods An anonymous cross‐sectional web‐based survey was conducted to assess the Spanish population's understanding and perceptions of RMBDs for cats and dogs.

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.

In vitro metabolomic footprint of the Echinococcus multilocularis metacestode [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractAlveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonotic disease that is deadly if left untreated. AE is caused by the larval metacestode stage of the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis. Better knowledge on the host-parasite interface could yield novel targets for improvement of the treatment against AE.

Spatiotemporal Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals the Dynamic Immunological Landscape of Alveolar Echinococcosis

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 18, May 15, 2025.
An unprecedented high‐resolution spatial atlas of the E. multilocularis infection foci is obtained, revealing the dynamic functions of neutrophils, Spp1+ macrophages, and fibroblasts during disease progression. The transition of parasite control strategy from “active killing” to “negative segregation” by the host may provide instructive insights into ...

Spatiotemporal Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals the Dynamic Immunological Landscape of Alveolar Echinococcosis (Adv. Sci. 18/2025)

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 18, May 15, 2025.
Echinococcus Multilocularis In article number 2405914, Wan‐Zhong Jia, Junhua Li, Hong‐Bin Yan, and co‐workers decipher the shift in host (Nezha) immune response strategies from “active killing” to “negative segregation” during Echinococcus multilocularis hepatic infection.
