The Role of Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Pathogenesis of Hepatic Echinococcosis: A Literature Review

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Hepatic echinococcosis (HE), a major zoonotic disease, remains endemic in pastoral regions of Western China, where its incidence is closely linked to geographical, livestock and sanitary conditions. The disease presents a significant clinical challenge due to the complexity of host–parasite interactions and a high recurrence rate. To date, the

Harmine Derivative H‐2‐104 Alleviates Echinococcus granulosus‐Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Mice by Inhibiting Fibroblast Activation and Inducing DNA Damage

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) secondary to Echinococcus granulosus infection is a severe complication with limited therapeutic options. Harmine (HM) exhibits antifibrotic potential but is restricted by significant neurotoxicity. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanism of HM derivative H‐2‐104 in a clinically ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features of Hepatic Hydatid Disease: A Pictorial Review with Emphasis on Atypical Presentations and Differential Diagnosis

Diagnostics
Hepatic echinococcosis, caused by Echinococcus species, remains a significant global health concern, with cystic echinococcosis (CE) being widespread and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) representing a rarer but more aggressive form.

Echinococcus Equinus Found in Imported Donkeys (Equus asinus) From Central Asia

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The zoonotic tapeworm Echinococcus equinus (G4) has been reported primarily in equines across Europe, Africa, and West Asia, but its presence in donkeys in Central Asia had not been documented. This knowledge gap is critical given the substantial and growing Kyrgyzstan–China trade of live donkeys.

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.
