Hydatid disease, mostly caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a common parasitic infestation of the liver. In this type infectious humans are an intermediate host. Although most sites liver (70%) and lungs (25%), tapeworm can be seen at any region body. Intraperitoneal cysts usually secondary to rupture primary cysts, but hydatid mesentery very rare (%2). Herein, we aimed report giant cyst in m...

BACKGROUND Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a neglected zoonosis presenting with focal liver lesions (FLL) with a wide range of imaging patterns resembling benign as well as malignant FLLs. Complementary serology and histopathology may be misleading. OBJECTIVE The objective of our study is to highlight pitfalls leading to wrong diagnoses and harmful interventions in patients with AE. DESIGN ...

Hydatid disease, caused by larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus is a commonly seen parasitic zoonosis in Mediterranean countries, Eastern Europe, North and East Africa, Central Asia, Australia and South America (Grosso et al., 2012). In India, the International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 5 Number 12 (2016) pp. 195-202 Journal homepage: http://...

Hydatid cystic disease from Echinococcus granulosus is described in some Brazilian as well as Italian areas. Liver hydatidosis is the most common presentation, which may evolve without symptoms. The authors describe an 87-year-old woman with an unsuspected giant hydatid cyst of the liver and emphasize the diagnostic challenges, mainly involving patients from non-endemic regions.

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus (larval form) in humans with lesionsmost frequently encountered in the liver and lungs. It can rarely involve extra-hepatic organs. It is endemicin some regions of Iran. The omental hydatid cyst is a very rare manifestation of the disease. This report presentsthe interesting case of a very large omental hydatid cyst.

background: echinococcus granulosus cultivation is very important for improvement of different aspect of medical and veterinary researches. despite many advances in this case, there is a missing link for in vitro life cycle of adult worms and it is fertili-zation. regarding the researchers’ observations, self-fertilization can be done in worms living in dog intestine, but despite all sorts of e...

in order to assess the prevalence of echinococcus granulosus (eo) infection (hydatidosis) in nomadic tribes of southern iran, 1000 individuals from a total population of 1 12,519 were selected by randomized single blind cluster sampling method and studied from 1994- 1995. the study included: ( l ) a physical examination by a gastroenterologist, (2) abdominal ultrasonography (us), and (3) detect...

cystic echinococcosis is an important zoonosis in the sheep rising areas of iran. to develop a simple and reliable diagnostic method for echinococcus infection in definitive hosts, e. granulosus polyoclonal antibodies (polyabs) were prepared from adult worm in rabbit. a selected poab was used for coproantigen detection in faecal samples obtained from animals naturally infected with echinococcus...

The glycobiology of the cestodes, a class of parasitic flatworms, is still largely unexplored. An important cestode species is Echinococcus granulosus, the tissue-dwelling larval stage of which causes hydatid disease. The E. granulosus larva is protected from the host by a massive mucin-based extracellular matrix termed laminated layer (LL). We previously reported ( Díaz et al. 2009. Biochemist...

Echinococcosis is cosmopolitan zoonosis caused by adult or larval stages of tapeworrns belonging to the genus Echinococcus Rudolphi, 1 80 1 . Within the genus Echinococcus four species are presently recog­ nised, namely Echinococcus granulosus, E. multiloc­ ularis, E. oligarthrus and E. vogeli, and taxonomic revision of the genus is probably needed (Thompson RCA, McManus DC, 2002, Trends Parasi...
