Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato is a zoonotic helminth with life cycle that include of definitive hosts (dogs and wild carnivores) intermediate (usually the even-toed ungulates, Artiodactyla). Intermediate become infected by ingesting parasite eggs in contaminated food water. Accidental acquire infection similar way as other hosts. A two-year-old female cat was presented to Van (Turkey) Anim...

Samples of Echinococcus granulosus from seven pigs from Mexico were compared with isolates of the parasite from pigs in Poland and representative strains and species of Echinococcus. Isolates from pigs in Mexico were found to be genetically identical to E. granulosus from Polish pigs and distinct from other major genotypes by sequencing part of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) mtD...

Hydatid disease (echinococcosis) has a two-host cycle involving the domestic dog and grazing animals. Humans are also infected by the dog. Both unilocular (Echinococcus granulosus in yaks, sheep, and goats) and multilocular (alveolar) (E. multilocularis in hares and rodents) hydatids are common in western Sichuan in the People's Republic of China. Humans and dogs are equally infected with both ...

case presentation here, we report three rare but well-documented cases of central nervous system hydatid cysts that occurred in patients in iran. conclusions we also provide a brief review of the literature examining similar occurrences. this article intends to provide thorough information about the disease for readers. introduction hydatid disease is caused most common by echinococcus granulos...

background: echinococcosis or hydatidosis is a chronic, zoonotic worldwide infection that occurs by the larval stages of taeniid cestodes of the genus echinococcus . iran is known as endemic region for this infection in the world. vaccination has been considered as a good prevention method for this disease. recombinant vaccines containing eg95 protein, against e. granulosus , has shown a high d...

OBJECTIVE Fasciola hepatica, a liver fluke of sheep and cattle, may accidentally infect humans. The main signs and symptoms of the fasciolosis are eosinophilia, abdominal pain and hepatomegaly and may also be attributed to Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) caused by Echinococcus granulosus, which is a prevalent infection in Turkey. METHODS Sera samples of 226 CE suspected cases were tested for anti-...

Hydatidosis or echinococcosisis considered a neglected zoonotic disease despite its high burden in the livestock industry and the high risk of infection by humans in endemic areas. In a cross-sectional study we estimated the copro-Incidence and also genotyped Echinococcus granulosus isolates from domestic dogs using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Medical archives in nine major hospitals in Pa...

It was suggested that the unlimited proliferative capacity of the Echinococcus multilocularis metacestode may be related to overproduction of the 14-3-3 protein. As is known, the proliferative capacities of E. granulosus and E. multilocularis metacestodes are very different. By comparing the expression levels of the 14-3-3 gene between in vitro-obtained E. granulosus and E. multilocularis metac...
