Echinococcus spp. Tapeworms in North America
Alveolar and cystic echinococcosis are emerging and reemerging in Europe, Africa, and Asia. The expansion of Echinococcus spp. tapeworms in wildlife host reservoirs appears to be driving this emergence in some areas. Recent studies suggest a similar phenomenon may be occurring in North America. We describe the context of Echinococcus spp. research in North America, with a specific focus on the ...
متن کاملDetection of European Strain of Echinococcus multilocularis in North America
of the Rickettsia spp. we identifi ed. As shown (2), multilocus analysis with ompA–ompB sequences was highly informative about the phylogenetic relationship between Rickettsia spp. and R. conorii strains (Figure, panel B). In Sicily, R. conorii Malish strain has been characterized in MSF patients (4), and R. slovaca DNA was identifi ed in ixodid ticks (5). However, to our knowledge, R. slovaca ...
متن کاملEchinococcus multilocularis in North America: the great unknown
Over the last decade, studies have begun to shed light on the distribution and genetic characterization of Echinococcus multilocularis, the causative agent of alveolar echinococcosis (AE), in North America. Recent findings indicate that the parasite is likely expanding its range in the central region of the United States and Canada and that invasions of European strains might have occurred. In ...
متن کاملMolecular and morphological characterization of Echinococcus in cervids from North America.
Many issues concerning the taxonomy of Echinococcus have been resolved in recent years with the application of molecular tools. However, the status of Echinococcus maintained in transmission cycles involving cervid intermediate hosts remains to be determined. The recent characterization of the parasite from cervids in Finland has highlighted the paucity of data available, particularly that from...
متن کاملHighlight on Advances in Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease in North America
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous in the environment and exist as an important cause of pulmonary infections in humans. Pulmonary involvement is the most common disease manifestation of NTM and the incidence of NTM is growing in North America. Susceptibility to NTM infection is incompletely understood; therefore preventative tools are not well defined. Treatment of pulmonary nont...
