mRNA trans-splicing in the human parasitic cestode Echinococcus multilocularis.
An identical 36-nucleotide exon was identified at the 5' termini of different mRNAs from the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis. We provide evidence that this exon constitutes a new spliced leader (SL) that is obviously trans-spliced to echinococcal pre-mRNAs, donated by a non-polyadenylated, trimethylguanosine-capped SL-RNA of 104 nucleotides. Sequence comparisons indicated that cestode and t...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity of the Cestode Echinococcus multilocularis in Red Foxes at a Continental Scale in Europe
BACKGROUND Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a severe helminth disease affecting humans, which is caused by the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. AE represents a serious public health issue in larger regions of China, Siberia, and other regions in Asia. In Europe, a significant increase in prevalence since the 1990s is not only affecting the historically documented endemic area north of t...
متن کاملModifications of the immune system caused by the cestode. Echinococcus granulosus: A review
Background: Echinococcus granuiosus is a parasite causing hydatidosis, an infection characterised by a prolonged course attributed to some form of immunosuppression. Recent findings have increased our knowledge concerning the parasite-evading mechanisms, making more rational future therapeutic intervention. Methodology: The literature was reviewed using MEDLINE search for immunology of hydatido...
متن کاملUnexpected diversity of the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis in wildlife in Canada
Echinococcus multilocularis is a zoonotic cestode with a distribution encompassing the northern hemisphere that causes alveolar hydatid disease in people and other aberrant hosts. E. multilocularis is not genetically uniform across its distribution, which may have implications for zoonotic transmission and pathogenicity. Recent findings of a European-type haplotype of E. multilocularis in wildl...
متن کاملGenetic differences between Tunisian camel and sheep strains of the cestode Echinococcus granulosus revealed by SSCP.
Ovine and dromedary Echinococcus granulosus isolates from Tunisia were identified as G1 and G6 strains based on polymorphism of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxydase CO1. Single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) was used in order to examine the genetic variation within and between Tunisian G1 and G6 strains and to estimate the extent of selfing. The dromedary isolates are genetically dis...
