Abstract Background Cystic echinococcosis is one of the most severe helminth zoonosis with a drastic impact on human health and livestock industry. Investigating optimal control strategy assessing crucial factors are essential for developing countermeasures to mitigate this disease. Methods Two compartment models were formulated study dynamics cystic transmission, evaluate effectiveness various...

BACKGROUND Cystic echinococcosis is an important zoonosis caused by the Echinococcus granulosus with a substantial impact in human and animal health in endemic areas. The purpose of the present study was serodiagnosis optimizing of dog echinococcosis in order to achieve a rapid diagnostic method. METHODS Eight dogs were challenged with protoscoleces in order to have positive echinococcosis se...

Hydatid disease (echinococcosis) has a two-host cycle involving the domestic dog and grazing animals. Humans are also infected by the dog. Both unilocular (Echinococcus granulosus in yaks, sheep, and goats) and multilocular (alveolar) (E. multilocularis in hares and rodents) hydatids are common in western Sichuan in the People's Republic of China. Humans and dogs are equally infected with both ...

The Echinococcus organisms, the cause of echinococcosis (hydatid disease), are parasitic helminths with life cycles involving a carnivorous definitive host (usually dog or fox) and an intermediate host (human, ungulate, or rodent). They are complex multicellular pathogens that, despite being under constant barrage by the immune system, are able to modulate antiparasite immune responses and pers...

Hydatid disease is a zoonotic infection caused by larval stages of dog tapeworms belonging to the genus Echinococcus (family taeniidae) and is also referred to as echinococcosis. Human cystic echinococcosis caused by E. granulosus is the most common presentation and probably accounts for more than 95% of the estimated 2-3 million annual worldwide cases. The liver (70-80%) and lungs (15-25%) are...

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a cosmopolitan disease caused by the dog tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. The disease is difficult to diagnose, treat, and control and is responsible for considerable human morbidity and mortality globally. There is an urgent need for new diagnostic tests and new drugs for treatment of CE and the development of a vaccine against adult worms of E. granulosus in dog...

Abstract Cystic echinococcosis, rabies and bovine tuberculosis are major neglected zoonoses in many developing countries, including Morocco. A common step their control strategies is the management of slaughterhouses and/or dog populations. This study used a qualitative approach to identify barriers implementation cystic echinococcosis programme Morocco that focused on control. could be underst...

Human cystic echinococcosis (hydatidosis) is a parasitic zoonosis with almost complete worldwide distribution. Echinococcus granulosus, the dog tapeworm, causes hydatidosis which accounts for 95% of human echinococcosis. Although this tapeworm is found in dogs as a definitive host and a number of intermediate hosts, humans are often infected from close contact with infected dogs. Humans are not...

OBJECTIVE To determine the extent of carnivore-transmitted parasitic zoonoses in a community in eastern Kazakhstan, a region where cystic echinococcosis (CE) re-emerged in recent years. METHODS Cross sectional ultrasound study of 3126 human subjects to determine the extent of human cystic and alveolar echinococcosis (AE). Blood samples were taken from each subject and analysed for antibodies ...
