Echinococcus Multilocularis Infestation in the Head of the Pancreas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Primary hydatid cyst of the pancreas is extremely rare, and occurs at a rate of 0.2-2% [1]. The causative agent is often Echinococcusgranulosus (EG), which accounts for 99% of the cases. The hydatid disease caused by Echinococcusmultilocularis (EM) is less frequent when compared with EG; however, the differentiation from neoplastic lesions poses a challenge [2-5]. We present a patient who underwent surgery with clinical diagnosis of a malignant tumor of the pancreases, and in whom serological tests and pathological examination revealed EM infection.

Limited range of genetic variation in Echinococcus multilocularis.
DNA sequencing of 1.3 kb of rDNA containing both internal transcribed spacers (ITS1, ITS2) and adjoining rRNA coding regions in each of 11 Echinococcus multilocularis isolates from Germany, Japan, and Alaska resulted in identical nucleotide sequences except for a single polymorphic locus 54 bp upstream of the 3' end of the 18S coding region, separating Eurasian isolates from an Alaskan isolate....
متن کاملMathematical 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.

Alveolar and cystic hydatidosis are caused by infection with the larval stages of Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus granulosus, respectively. A host-protective antigen has been identified in E. granulosus. Here we identify the presence of a closely related protein in E. multilocularis, characterize and express a cDNA encoding the antigen (designated EM95), determine the structure of ...
