Two fbms of human echinococcosis or hydatidosis have been reportedinJapan: alveolar hydatidosis (AHD), which is caused by larval Echinococcus multilocularis, and cystic hydatidosis (CHD), which is caused by larval E. granulosus ( 1 ). Thee hundred and eighty-three AHD cases were reported from 1937-1998 in Hokkaido, a large northemmost island of Japan (2). In contrast, CHD cases were reported fr...

Cystic hydatid disease (hydatidosis) is one of the most important zoonosis that is caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus . As its diagnosis by clinical symptoms alone is difficult and confusing, serologic diagnostic techniques are used to confirm the disease. These techniques can also be used for   epidemiologic studies. The present study was performed with a commercial human en...

BACKGROUND Hydatidosis is one of the cosmopolitan parasitic zoonoses caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. Diagnosis of hydatidosis is still an unresolved problem. Serological tests using crude antigens for diagnosis of E. granulosus are sensitive, however their specificity are not satisfactory. Therefore, WHO recommended specific serological methods using specific antigens, sp...

background: the aim of this study was to conduct a sero-epidemiological survey in isfahan city and suburb areas, central iran to detect the rate of human hydatidosis using elisa test. methods: overall, 635 serum samples were collected from subjects referred to different health centers in urban and rural regions of the city. sera were analyzed using ag-b elisa test. ten μg/ml antigens, serum dil...

cystic echinococcosis caused by echinococcus spp. is considered endemic in iran. to clarify the pre­sent status of hydatidosis in iran the present review article is presented. authentic databases and search engines from 1996 onwards were utilized to enquire the situation of the disease in iran. human hydati­dosis is responsible for approximately 1% of admission to surgical wards and the rate of...
