The life-threatening diseases alveolar and cystic echinococcoses are caused by larvae of the tapeworms Echinococcus multilocularis and E. granulosus, respectively. In both cases, intermediate hosts, such as humans, are infected by oral uptake of oncosphere larvae, followed by asexual multiplication and almost unrestricted growth of the metacestode within host organs. Besides surgery, echinococc...

Echinococcus granulosus is the most common tapeworm causing hydatid disease in humans. Its least-encountered complication is cutaneous fistulization. Omentoplasty, cyst, and fistulous tract drainage revealed successful in the management of this complication. Such intervention can be an alternative when conservative management fails, and a minimally aggressive procedure is required.

Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus. Most common sites are liver, lungs, and brain. The disease is rarely present in the mediastinum. We report the rare instance of a 52-year-old female who presented with hydatid disease in the uncommon location of posterior mediastinum.

The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different concentrations aqueous extract ginger and cloves on vitality protostars parasite Echinococcus granulosus, which were isolated from hydatid cyst fluid livers sheep infected with (5, 10, 15, 20) mg/ml for periods time principals was calculated. by 0.1% eosin tincture. hot recorded a greater effect than cold them.

Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus. Thoracic and costo-vertebral hydatid cysts are very rare, accounting for 0.18%–1.21% of all cases.1 We report a thoracic and costo-vertebral multivesicular hydatid cyst in a 28-year-old man (Fig. 1A and B). The patient was treated by radical surgery via a posterior approach and anti-parasitic medical treatm...

In autumn 2006, a study of the age-dynamics of Echinococcus granulosus cyst abundance was undertaken from an abattoir study of 1081 sheep slaughtered in Naryn Province in central Kyrgyzstan, an area endemic for echinococcosis. The results demonstrated approximately 64% of sheep were infected with the prevalence increasing markedly with age. The mean abundance was 3.8 cysts per sheep. From estab...

Echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease, is a type of zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the Echinococcus larvae infection. The disease is severely harmful to both humans and animals. Research and development of an epitope vaccine is crucial. To determine the dominant epitopes of the Eg95 antigen, the tertiary structure and the T- and B-combined epitope of the Eg95 protein for Echinococ...

Echinococcosis or hydatid disease is a helminthic infection caused by larvae of tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. While the cysts can involve all organs, liver is the most common site of infection and the lungs are the second most commonly involved organ in young adults. In addition to endemic areas its incidence is growing all around the world due to the ease of transcontinental travel. Diseas...
