Cystic echinococcosis is caused by the zoonotic tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. There has been ongoing controversy over whether it causes weight loss in cattle. Recently implemented recording of comorbidities at processors has provided opportunity to investigate this effect. Using prevalence-based observational data from 1,648,049 adult cattle processed in seven states and territories in Australia (2019-2022), we explored associations between carcase weight, hydatid cysts, comorbidities, sex, age, and region...

Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) as a prevalent tapeworm infection of human and herbivorous animals worldwide, is caused by accidental ingestion of Echinococcus granulosus eggs excreted from infected dogs. CE is endemic in the Middle East and North Africa, and is considered as an important parasitic zoonosis in Iran. It is transmitted between dogs as the primary definitive host and different livestock species as the intermediate hosts. One of the most important measures for CE control is dog deworming with praziquantel...

BACKGROUND: The diagnostic tool for identifying cystic echinococcosis (CE) patients at an early stage is currently lacking. However, circulatory cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has shown potential as a biomarker for parasitic infections and could be used for diagnosing CE. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The plasma and urine samples were collected from 39 patients with confirmed CE through imaging and histopathological techniques. All plasma samples were tested for anti-echinococcal antibodies using a commercial ELISA test...

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a global health concern caused by cestodes, posing diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and inconclusive radiographic results. Diagnosis relies on histopathological evaluation of affected tissue, demanding comprehensive tools. In this retrospective case study, Fourier transform infrared microscopy was explored for detecting and identifying CE through biochemical changes in human tissue sections. Tissue samples from 11 confirmed CE patients were analyzed. Archived FFPE blocks were cut and stained, and then CE-positive unstained sections were examined using Fourier transform infrared microscopy post-deparaffinization...

The larval stages of Echinococcus multilocularis ( E. multilocularis ) are what cause the zoonotic disease known as alveolar echinococcosis (AE). Identifying the antigens that trigger immune responses during infection is extremely important for the development of vaccines against Echinococcus infections. Several studies conducted in recent decades have described the specific traits of the protective antigens found in E. multilocularis and their role in immunizing different animal hosts. The objective of the current systematic review was to summarize the findings of relevant literature on this topic and unravel the most effective vaccine candidate antigens for future research...

Liver metastases can appear in different forms in magnetic resonance imaging. Contrary to popular belief, while radiologists report hypovascular or hypervascular metastatic lesions, exceptional examples may be detected in various tumors. The aim of this article is to improve this review by presenting rare and atypical examples of liver metastasis, as well as cases that might potentially be misdiagnosed as metastases during the process of differential diagnosis.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l). In the intermediate host, this disease is characterized by the growth of cysts in viscera such as liver and lungs, inside of which the parasite develops to the next infective stage known as protoscoleces. There are records that the infected viscera affect the development and morphology of E. granulosus s.l. protoscolex in hosts such as buffalo or humans. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive these differences remains unknown...

BACKGROUND: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), a helminth-associated zoonosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus, poses a significant public health problem, particularly in pastoral-rearing regions. The lack of uniform guidelines led to variations in CE management. Based on ultrasound data, the World Health Organization Informal Working Group on Echinococcosis (WHO-IWGE) classification system categorizes cysts into active, transitional, and inactive groups. This study assesses whether the therapeutic approach from liver human operation cases in North Khorasan province aligns with the WHO-IWGE reference based on ultrasound data...

Cardiac echinococcosis is a rare and severe manifestation of hydatid disease. It is caused by parasitic infestation by the Echinococcus species and can lead to life-threatening complications. Diagnosis is difficult due to nonspecific symptoms, but echocardiography is a highly sensitive diagnostic method. Albendazole treatment is effective in managing these cysts and can be an alternative to surgery. A patient with multiple cardiac hydatid cysts was successfully treated with albendazole, highlighting the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent life-threatening complications...

Echinococcus granulosus is predominantly found in the liver and can be effectively managed through antihelminthic therapy, surgical intervention, or interventional radiology. Percutaneous treatment (PT) has gained widespread popularity due to its minimally invasive nature. An integral step in surgical and PT procedures involves the utilization of protoscolicidal agents to eliminate the parasites. However, the administration of protoscolicidal agents carries the risk of inducing caustic sclerosing cholangitis (SC) if there is a communication between the cyst and the biliary tract...

Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by infection with tiny tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus . Echinococcosis is classified as either cystic echinococcosis or alveolar echinococcosis. The common form is a zoonosis from goats and sheep that tends to cause liver lesions. The larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis causes alveolar echinococcosis/alveolar hydatid disease. It is a zoonosis with field mice and tundra voles as intermediate and wild carnivores like foxes and wolves as definitive hosts...

Hydatid disease is a common health problem in the sheep-farming countries of the Mediterranean, caused by infection with Echinococcus granulosus . The common sites are the liver and lungs. Cardiac hydatidosis is rare. Herein, we report a case of interventricular septum hydatid cyst with lung involvement in a four-year-old child. Cardiac hydatid cysts should be resected surgically even in asymptomatic patients since delayed diagnosis and treatment can lead to fatal outcomes. In spite of its rarity, the combination of cardiac and pulmonary hydatidosis can be managed with a single operation...

Hydatid cysts are caused by accidental egg ingestion of the Echinococcus granulosus parasite. A 24-year-old female was admitted to our hospital for chronic left lumbar pain. Computed tomography (CT) and abdominal ultrasonography identified an 8/12 cm retroperitoneal cyst. The CT results coupled with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests (positive IgG for Echinococcus granulosus ) confirmed that the tumor was a hydatid cyst. Treatment consisted of preoperative chemotherapy with albendazole, intraoperative parasite inactivation, laparoscopic partial cystectomy, and drainage...

Cystic echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus and causes significant morbidity, especially in endemic areas. It may remain asymptomatic for a long period. The clinical presentation depends on the exertion of pressure on adjacent organs or the sudden rupture of formed cysts. The presence of primary retroperitoneal echinococcal cysts, with no other organ involvement, has been scarcely reported in the literature. The aim of this study is to present the case of a 69-year-old male complaining of right flank pain for a month...
