Echinococcoses require the involvement of specialists from nearly all disciplines; standardization terminology used in field is thus crucial. To harmonize echinococcosis on sound scientific and linguistic grounds, World Association Echinococcosis launched a Formal Consensus process. Under coordination Steering Writing Group (SWG), Consultation Rating (CRG) had main missions (1) providing input list terms drafted by SWG, taking into account available literature participants' experience; (2)...
Background. An increased incidence of alveolar echinococcosis (AE) in patients with immunosuppression (IS) has been observed; our aim was to study this association and its characteristics. Methods. Fifty AE cases IS-associated conditions (ISCs) before or at diagnosis were collected from the French registry (1982–2012, 509 cases). There 30 cancers, 9 malignant hematological disorders, 14 chronic inflammatory diseases, 5 transplants, 1 case AIDS; had ≥2 ISCs. Characteristics 42 IS/AE 187...
Liver transplantation (LT) is currently contraindicated in patients with residual or metastatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE) lesions. We evaluated the long-term course of such who underwent LT and were subsequently treated benzimidazoles. Clinical, imaging, serological, therapeutic data collected from 5 residual/recurrent AE lesions survived for more than 15 years. Since 2004, [(18) F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) images available, levels serum antibodies...
Abstract During 1982–2007, alveolar echinococcosis (AE) was diagnosed in 407 patients France, a country previously known to register half of all European patients. To better define high-risk groups we conducted national registry-based study identify areas where persons were at risk and spatial clusters cases. We interviewed 180 AE about their way life compared responses those 517 controls. found that almost lived 22 départements eastern central France (relative 78.63, 95% CI 52.84–117.02)....
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a severe helminth disease affecting humans, which caused by the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. AE represents serious public health issue in larger regions of China, Siberia, and other Asia. In Europe, significant increase prevalence since 1990s not only historically documented endemic area north Alps but more recently also neighbouring previously known to be endemic. The genetic diversity parasite population respective distribution Europe have now...
Studying the environmental occurrence of parasites concern for humans and animals based on coprosamples is an expanding field work in epidemiology ecology health. Detecting quantifying Toxocara spp. Echinococcus multilocularis, two predominant zoonotic helminths circulating European carnivores, feces may help to better target measures prevention. A rapid, sensitive, one-step quantitative PCR (qPCR) allowing detection E. multilocularis was developed present study, combined with a host fecal...
Alveolar echinococcosis, caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, is one of most severe parasitic diseases in humans and represents 17 neglected prioritised World Health Organisation (WHO) 2012. Considering major medical veterinary importance this parasite, phylogeny genus considerable importance; yet, despite numerous efforts with both mitochondrial nuclear data, it has remained unresolved. The clearly complex, reasons for incomplete understanding its taxonomy. Although taxonomic...
Molecular identification of rare human infectious pathogens appears to be one the most relevant current methods for rapid diagnosis and management patients. PCR techniques, in particular real-time quantitative PCR, are best suited detection DNA from pathogens, even at low concentrations. Echinococcosis infections due helminths Echinococcus genus, with closely related species involved parasitic lesions affecting animals and, accidentally, humans. We developed a multiplex qPCR (MLX qPCR) assay...
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE)--caused by the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis--is a severe zoonotic disease found in temperate and arctic regions of northern hemisphere. Even though transmission patterns observed different geographical areas are heterogeneous, nuclear mitochondrial targets usually used for genotyping E. multilocularis have shown only marked genetic homogeneity this species. We microsatellite sequences, because their high typing resolution, to explore diversity...
Confirmed diagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is based on pathological criteria and molecular evidence. This parasite-borne disease, caused by the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis, sparingly involves humans as a dead-end host. In humans, parasite mainly colonizes liver but can colonize any organ cause atypical forms, often difficult to characterize clinically. Moreover, methods may be suitable make AE in cases extra-hepatic localizations, or immunosuppressed patients. The aim this...
Recent changes in the epidemiology of alveolar echinococcosis (AE) Eurasia have led to increasing concerns about risk human AE and need for a thorough evaluation epidemiological situation. The aim this study was explore use National Register detect complex distribution patterns on several scales. data were cases from FrancEchino register, diagnosed France 1982 2011. We used Kulldorff spatial scan analysis non-random locations cases. proposed an exploratory method that based successive...
