A large sheep-dog population from the province of Alava (northern Spain) has been investigated in order to determine the prevalence of the cestode parasite Echinococcus granulosus. Worms were detected in 14.0% of 721 dog faecal supernatants by coproantigen ELISA, and in 9.1% of 754 dog serum samples by serum antibody ELISA. A weak but statistically significant correlation (Spearman's rho=0.103,...

Echinococcosis is rarely encountered as a cystic brain disease. In this article we are presenting a case of a young woman repeatedly operated due to echinococcosis of lung, heart and brain. Recurrent brain ecchinococcosis developed despite preoperative and postoperative albendazol therapy after first and combined therapy with albendazol and praziquantel after the second brain surgery. The mecha...

Echinococcus is a parasiticsource of infection that occurs in humans in endemic regions of the world. It causes medical, veterinary and economic problems for endemic developing countries.Primary echinococcosis of the heart represents 0,5-2% of all hydatid disease. This is a retrospective review of recent literature that consists information about 35 case report studies from different regions an...

Cardiac echinococcosis is a rare but mortal disease. The primary goal of this study was to quantitatively examine, using bibliometrics tools, the publications and assess hot issues new directions in cardiac research from 1970 December 2021. We only included "journal articles" "reviews" study. ‘cardiac echinococcosis’ or hydatid disease’ ‘echinococcal heart keywords were used for search. search ...

Human echinococcosis is a zoonotic infection caused by larval forms (metacestodes) of tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus. Among the recognised species, Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis are of considerable medical importance, causing cystic and alveolar echinococcosis (AE and CE), respectively. The factors of immunology, host-genetic inherits, and Echinococcus genetic-diversity and...

Human cystic echinococcosis (hydatid disease) continues to be a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world. Elimination is difficult to obtain and it is estimated that, using current control options, achieving such a goal will take around 20 years of sustained efforts. Since the introduction of current (and past) hydatid control campaigns, there have been clear tech...

Aim. To study the long-term results of surgical treatment in patients with “complex” hepatic echinococcosis. Materials and methods. The 118 echinococcosis from 2015 to 2020 at A.V. Vishnevsky National Medical Research Center Surgery were analyzed. term has been proposed. A comparative analysis number type complications interferences 2 groups was carried out: 66 echinococcosis, 52 complex Result...

background: cystic echinococcosis (ce), a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by the metacestode (larvae) stage of dog tapeworm echinococcus granulosus and recognized as a major economic and public health concern in the world. this study aimed to investigate the in vitro scolicidal effect of methanolic extract of berberis vulgaris l. roots and its main compound, berberine against protoscoleces ...

Abstract BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of Echinococcus granulosus in the definitive host particularly in dog is the significant complication in the endemic area. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is serological detection of E. granulosus in the infected dogs. METHODS: Dot-ELISA based on the copro-antigen and recombinant EPC1 antigen (rEPC1) for antibody detection was performed. Blood and fecal samples ...

conclusions hepatic alveolar hydatid cyst should be considered one of the important differential diagnoses of liver masses, especially in endemic areas of the world. results there were 24 published cases of liver-involved alveolar hydatid cyst from iran. the disease was more common in young- to middle-aged women in northeast iran. the most common presenting signs and symptoms were abdominal pai...
