The parasite Echinococcus multilocularis which causes alveolar hydatid disease is distinct in both larval form and host specificity from the more common E granulosus Surgical treatment of E multilocularis infestation is usually impossible The budding alveolar cysts infiltrate the liver diffusely rather than forming a solitary cyst as does E granulosus A case report of infestation by E multilocularis accompanies a brief review of the ecology of the parasiteread more

Biological, Epidemiological, and Clinical Aspects of Echinococcosis, a Zoonosis of Increasing Concern
Johannes Eckert,Peter Deplazes +1 more
TL;DR: Various aspects of human echinococcosis are discussed in this review, including data on the infectivity of genetic variants of E. granulosus to humans, the increasing invasion of cities in Europe and Japan by red foxes, the main definitive hosts ofE.
Journal ArticleDOI
The global burden of alveolar echinococcosis.
TL;DR: The global burden of AE is comparable to several diseases in the neglected tropical disease cluster and is likely to be one of the most important diseases in certain communities in rural China on the Tibetan plateau.

TL;DR: The goal is to provide the clinician and clinical microbiologist with an overview of the diseases most commonly associated with lung cavities, with attention to the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of the host.

TL;DR: Improved diagnostic technology, as well as a real increase in the infection rate and an extension to new areas, can explain that more than 500 cases of alveolar echinococcosis have been reported for these 2 decades while less than 900 cases were published for the previous 7 decades.

TL;DR: The trocar-suction device employed here for needle aspiration of hydatid cysts has demonstrated its efficacy in preventing the rupture of the cyst and its possible dissemination.

Studies on the helminth fauna of Alaska. XXV. The ecology and public health significance of Echinococcus sibiricensis Rausch & Schiller, 1954, on St. Lawrence Island.
TL;DR: The circumstances strongly suggest that the bears on Kodiak Island are infected through ingesting plerocercoid larvae in salmon, and Aboriginal methods of preparing fishes for human consumption are such that cestode larvae might remain viable for some time.

TL;DR: Although there is a newly discovered reservoir of echinococcosis in Northwestern Canada and the prevalence of hepatic infection of cattle in the United States is about 0.01 per cent, it does not appear that this disease is becoming a public health problem in the US.
