Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a prevalent zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus, with a cosmopolitan distribution. The parasite is transmitted cyclically between canines and numerous intermediate herbivor...
Echinococcosis or hydatid disease is induced mainly by Echinococcus granulosus and occasionally by Echinococcus multilocularis(alveolaris)and affects the liver predominantly.Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis is similar ...

What is already known about this topic?Echinococcosis exhibits a global distribution.In China,the primary endemic area is the northwest region.In December 2023,we documented a case of echinococcosis in an individual l...
Background:Echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus.Usually,the liver is the most affected organ,accounting for approximately 70%to 85%of cases.The lungs represent 20%of the cases.Fewer t...
Liver metastases can appear in different forms in magnetic resonance imaging.Contrary to popular belief,while radiologists report hypovascular or hypervascular metastatic lesions,exceptional examples may be detected i...
The larval stages of the cestode parasites belonging to the genus Echinococcus grow within internal organs of humans and a range of animal species.The resulting diseases,collectively termed echinococcoses,include majo...
Background:Cystic echinococcosis(CE),caused by the larval stage of the complex Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato(s.l.),is a zoonotic parasitic disease with a high social burden in China.E.ortleppi is a species(former...

In this study,we investigated the effect of dihydroartemisinin on Echinococcus protoscoleces and explored the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in this process.Echinococcus protoscoleces were collected and cultured...
Human echinococcosis is a zoonosis caused by Echinococcus(E.)tapeworms.There are different species,but E.granulosus and E.multilocularis have clinical relevance causing cystic and alveolar echinococcosis,respectively....
