Karyological and dental identification of Microtus limnophilus in a large focus of alveolar echinococcosis (Gansu, China).
1999
International audience; A study of voles (Arvicolidae, Rodentia) from Gansu (China) designed to identify a potential host of Echinococcus multilocularis, responsible for human alveolar echinococcosis, leads to a general analysis of Microtus limnophilus population karyotypes, M1 of M. oeconomus populations from all of Eurasia and of M. limnophilus of Mongolia. The Microtus of Gansu belonging to the nominal subspecies M. limnophilus limnophilus (2n = 38; NF = 58) differs markedly in size and shape of M1 from the M. limnophilus of Mongolia, which must therefore be considered as a new subspecies M. limnophilus of malygini nov. ssp. (2n = 38; NF = 60) and the M. oeconomus of Mongolia should be r…
Helminth parasites of the wolfCanis lupusfrom Latvia
2009
AbstractThirty-four wolves were collected between 2003 and 2008 from throughout Latvia and examined for helminths. A total of 17 helminth species were recorded: the trematodeAlaria alata(85.3%); the cestodesDiphyllobothrium latum(2.9%),Echinococcus granulosus(2.9%),Echinococcus multilocularis(5.9%),Mesocestoides lineatus(5.9%),Taenia crassiceps(8.8%),Taenia hydatigena(41.2%),Taenia (ovis) krabbei(8.8%),Taenia multiceps(47.1%),Taenia pisiformis(20.6%),Taenia polyacantha(11.8%),Taeniaspp. (8.8%); and the nematodesAncylostoma caninum(2.9%),Crenosoma vulpis(9.1%),Eucoleus aerophilus(36.4%),Pearsonema plica(41.4%),Trichinellaspp. (69.7%),Toxocara canis(5.8%), andUncinaria stenocephala(41.2%).Ala…
The management of abdominal hydatidosis after the rupture of a pancreatic hydatid cyst: a case report
2015
Introduction Echinococcosis or hydatidosis is a zoonosis caused by cestodes from the genus Echinococcus; its habitat is the small intestine of the definitive host, represented by dogs/carnivorous animals, where it produces eggs which are eliminated in the environment. Cystic echinococcosis represents more than 95% of the hydatidosis cases registered annually. The most frequent localization is the hepatic one, followed by the pulmonary localization with a ratio of 2.5:1. A pancreatic localization represents 0.2% of hydatidosis cases with a higher possibility of disseminating intra-abdominally. The incidence of hydatidosis in Romania has not been investigated yet through national studies. Cas…
Endoscopic stenting for postoperative biliary strictures due to hepatic hydatid disease: effectiveness and long-term outcome.
2003
Background Postoperative strictures due to hepatic hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus surgery is considered to be a rare cause of benign bile duct strictures, especially in the Western world. Goals The aim of this retrospective study is to demonstrate possible characteristics of the strictures as well as the effectiveness of long-term endoscopic stenting. Study Between 1994 and 2001, we treated 10 of these cases in our clinic. All patients had surgery for hepatic Echinococcus disease one or more times. These types of benign biliary strictures, secondary to surgery of hepatic hydatid disease, were multiple and located in the proximal common bile duct. Endoscopic stent therapy was carried…
Immunological diagnosis of human hydatid cyst relapse: utility of the enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot and discriminant analysis.
2000
ABSTRACT A discriminant technique was applied to the different serological patterns obtained by enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blotting (EITB) and by conventional immunological tests, in order to differentiate the residual antibody patterns present in healed hydatidosis from the ones present in patients with active hydatidosis. For this purpose, specific antibodies against Echinococcus granulosus were detected by indirect hemagglutination, agglutination of latex particles, basophil degranulation, and EITB for 23 patients with active hydatidosis and 45 patients with surgically cured hydatidosis. Discriminant analysis of the different serological patterns obtained by EITB and conventiona…
A primary subcutaneous hydatid cyst in the thigh. A case report
2016
Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease considered endemic in many parts of the world such as South America, Middle East, Africa, Australia and the Mediterranean regions. Liver and lung hydatid disease accounts for 90% of all echinococcal cysts. Primary hydatid disease of subcutaneous sites is rare and the subcutaneous localization of a solitary hydatid cyst accounts for 1.6%. Not enough data exist for this localization, and only many heterogeneous data are described in order to define this rare condition.We present the case of a 68-year-old-woman affected by a mass in upper-medial side of her right thigh with a 12-year-growing history. Anamnestic data were accurately collected. Many differe…

Functional response of species to multiscale landscape structure in a vector-borne disease
2007
International audience; The functional response of species to landscape is a recurring issue in landscape ecology. The scale levels favourable to the parasite responsible for a vector-borne disease, alveolar echinococcosis, have been explored in the Doubs department in eastern France. The method consists in maximizing landscape composition's heterogeneity in the environment of infected and non-infected georeferenced samples at various scales. The aim is to identify scale levels at which the positive samples' landscapes are the most specific and differ the most from the landscape in the environment of all samples. Three scales were identified and the distance to the positive samples' composi…
