This book is a collection of short articles written by the participants of a research workshop held in Poznan, Poland, in September 2000. The workshop, supported by NATO Scientific Affairs, focused on the three major larval cestode diseases of humans: Taenia solium neurocysticercosis, Echinococcus granulosus cystic hydatidosis, and E. multilocularis alveolar hydatidosis.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a major zoonosis in Morocco. Despite national hydatidosis control programme (NHCP) established 2005, CE burden still high nationwide. The aim of this study was to carry out an NHCP stakeholders’ analysis identify weak points and propose improvement strategies. In total, 164 semi-structured interviews were carried with local stakeholder representatives, one workshop...

A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2007 to November 2008 to estimate the prevalence of hydatidosis in slaughtered cattle from two abattoirs in Mongu, Western Province, Zambia, using prospective and retrospective data. Out of the 4061 cattle examined during postmortem inspection, 84 (2.1%) were positive for hydatidosis. No cases were detected from Kaoma and Shangombo districts; h...

DESCRIPTION Hydatid disease is an important infestation caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus. The liver is the most frequently involved organ (75%), followed by the lungs (15%) and the remainder of the body (10%).

A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2011 to April 2012 to assess the status of cystic hydatidosis in cattle slaughtered at Gondar Elfora abattoir. Out of the total 400 cattle examined visually and manually (palpation and incision), 112 (28%) were found harboring hydatid cysts. A significantly higher infection was detected in older cattle (P<0.05, P2=12.191) than young. Regarding ...

Echinococcosis is especial ly endemic to the Mediterranean Region, Australia, the Middle East, Turkey, Africa, and South America, and is the most common zoonotic infection in the world. Echinococcosis in humans is caused by the larval stages of cestode species of the genus Echinococcus, predominantly by Echinococcus granulosus[1]. These cysts are often seen as a single cyst in humans, although ...

Introduction: the aim of the study was to retrospectively evaluate all patients with thoracic hydatid cysts, treated surgically in our department between July 2010 To July 2016. Materials and methods: retrospective analysis was carried out in 350 cases of thoracic hydatidosis, in whom some surgical interventions were carried out at RIMS, Ranchi between 2010 to 2016.There were 204 male patients ...

Infection by the larval stage of the cestode Echinococcus granulosus causes a disease known as cystic echinococcosis or hydatidosis, which is one of the most widespread zoonotic infections of veterinary and medical importance. Numerous studies have shown that E. granulosus exists as a complex of strains differing in a wide variety of criteria. Ten distinct genotypes (G1-G10) have been identifie...

Background and Aim: Pulmonary embolism because of hydatid cysts is a very uncommon lethal complication caused by heart cyst rupture or visceral released into the venous circulation. By utilizing contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), pulmonary can be differentiated from other types embolism. MRI mainly displays cystic nature lesions better than CT. should k...
