An exceptional case of peritoneal cystic echinococcosis in a domestic cat in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 5, Page 254-260, May 2025.
A case of peritoneal cystic echinococcosis (CE) in a domestic cat was reported from Queensland, Australia. Physical examination of the cat indicated a large, distended abdomen, which when palpated appeared to be fluid‐filled. Ultrasonography showed numerous cysts with hyperechoic walls and anechoic contents within the cat's abdominal cavity.

Genetic characterization of human echinococcosis in Southern Punjab, Pakistan

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionEchinococcosis is a neglected tropical zoonotic infection that affects both the human and livestock populations. In Pakistan, the infection is long-standing, but data on its molecular epidemiology and genotypic characterization in the ...

Multiple Giant Cerebral Hydatid Cysts in Pediatrics

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT In Ethiopia, although multiple giant cerebral hydatid cysts are rare, rural children in close contact with dogs remain at risk. Diagnosis requires clinical suspicion and advanced imaging. Dowling hydrodissection allows intact cyst removal. Preoperative anthelmintics minimize allergic risks.

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 ...

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.

Update on the Seroepidemiology of Human Cystic Echinococcosis and Associated Risk Factors in Iran: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cystic echinococcosis (CE) poses a significant public health challenge in developing countries, including Iran. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aim to enhance our understanding of CE prevalence by providing an updated assessment of the general prevalence of human CE in Iran through a comprehensive review of the ...

The Release of Non‐Native Gamebirds Is Associated With Amplified Zoonotic Disease Risk

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.
Spillback is potentially an important mechanism by which non‐natives contribute to zoonotic disease emergence. We capitalise on quasi‐experimental releases of non‐native pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) to compare native pathogen prevalence between sites with similar local conditions but different non‐native densities. Prevalence of Borrelia sp.

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.
