Uniform strobilar development of Echinococcus multilocularis in vitro from protoscolex to immature stages.
The aim of this study was to obtain uniformity in strobilar development of Echinococcus multilocularis from protoscoleces in vitro. The isolate of E. multilocularis used was derived initially from a human case in France and subsequently maintained in the laboratory by intraperitoneal passage in Meriones unguiculatus. Protoscoleces used for culture were obtained using preparative procedures in w...
متن کاملParenteral strobilar development of Echinococcus multilocularis in scid mice.
Parenteral strobilation of Echinococcus multilocularis was observed in acid (severe combined immuno-deficient) mice after intracerebral, subcutaneous and intraperitoneal inoculation with protoscoleces. Evaginated protoscoleces and segmented worms were obtained at the inoculated sites. Most worms recovered from peritoneal cavity of scid mice were encapsulated by connective tissue and granulocyte...
متن کاملEchinococcus multilocularis in Estonia
To the Editor: Alveolar echinoco-ccosis (AE) caused by Echinococcus multilocularis is one of the most important emerging zoonosis in Europe. The fatality rate is >90% in untreated patients (1). In Europe, the distribution range of the zoonotic tapeworm E. multilocularis has expanded over the last few decades, and the parasite attracts increasing awareness as a public health issue (2–5). In 2003...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of benzimidazoles against Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes.
Alveolar echinococcosis, caused by the larval (metacestode) stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, is a lethal parasitosis of the liver prevalent in the Northern Hemisphere. For chemotherapy the benzimidazole derivatives mebendazole and albendazole were introduced, and their use has resulted in a significant improvement in the survival rates. However, data from experiments with anim...
متن کاملIn vitro parasiticidal effect of Nitazoxanide against Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes.
When humans serve as inadvertent intermediate hosts for Echinococcus multilocularis, disease (alveolar echinococcosis [AE]) may result from the expanding parasite metacestode in visceral organs, mostly in the liver. Benzimidazole carbamate derivatives such as mebendazole and albendazole are used for chemotherapeutic treatment of AE. However, these treatments are, in most cases, parasitistatic r...
