Mathematical modeling of Echinococcus multilocularis transmission.
A mathematical model for the transmission cycle of Echinococcus multilocularis would be useful for estimating its prevalence, and the model simulation can be instrumental in designing various control strategies. This review focuses on the epidemiological factors in the E. multilocularis transmission cycle and the recent advances of mathematical models for E. multilocularis transmission.
متن کامل1 Transmission dynamics of Echinococcus multilocularis in a patchy environment
We illustrate some of the challenges and potential benefits of modelling parasite population dynamics in a spatially explicit manner, using the example of Echinococcus multilocularis in semi-arid areas of Kazakhstan. We show that by taking a parasite-focussed approach to modelling population dynamics, rather than the usual host-focussed approach, we gain new insights into the complex factors th...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal aspects of urban transmission of Echinococcus multilocularis.
High prevalences of Echinococcus multilocularis have been reported from foxes of the city of Zurich, Switzerland. In order to characterize transmission in urban areas, a coproantigen ELISA was evaluated for diagnosing the infection in fox faecal samples collected in the environment. In addition, trapped rodents were investigated for the presence of metacestodes. Faecal samples could reliably be...
متن کاملTransmission ecosystems of Echinococcus multilocularis in China and Central Asia
From continental to regional scales, the zoonosis alveolar echinococcosis (AE) (caused by Echinococcus multilocularis) forms discrete patches of endemicity within which transmission hotspots of much larger prevalence may occur. Since the late 80s, a number of hotspots have been identified in continental Asia, mostly in China, wherein the ecology of intermediate host communities has been describ...
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...
