Background: To correlate the appearance of Alveolar Echinococcosis (AE) hepatic lesions in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as defined by Kodama, to metabolic activity visualized 18-Fluoro-DeoxyGlucose Positron Emission Tomography combined with Computed (PET/CT).Methods: Forty-two patients (25 men; mean age: 62.2) diagnosed AE and who underwent both MRI PET/CT were included.Three independent readers blinded regard information, divided forty-two into five types according Kodama's...
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)...
Human alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by the metacestode of fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, is most pathogenic zoonosis in temperate and arctic regions northern hemisphere. Prospective collection human cases some areas mass screenings using ultrasound imaging confirmation with serological techniques have markedly improved our knowledge epidemiology disease humans during past two decades. Transmission occurs when eggs tapeworm, excreted final hosts (usually foxes but also dogs,...
Abstract We screened 3,199 people from Shiqu County, Sichuan Province, China, for abdominal echinococcosis (hydatid disease) by portable ultrasound combined with specific serodiagnostic tests. Both cystic (CE) (Echinococcus granulosus infection) and alveolar (AE) (E. multilocularis) were co-endemic in this area at the highest village prevalence values recorded anywhere world: 12.9% infected one or other form (6.8% CE 6.2% AE). Prevalences of both AE significantly higher female than male...
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...
Cholera outbreaks have occurred in Burundi, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya almost every year since 1977-1978, when the disease emerged these countries. We used a multiscale, geographic information system-based approach to assess link between cholera outbreaks, climate, environmental variables. performed time-series analyses field investigations main affected areas. Results showed that greatly increased during El Nino warm events (abnormally Ninos) but...
Echinococcosis is a major parasitic zoonosis of public health importance in western China. In 2004, the Chinese Ministry Health estimated that 380,000 people had disease region. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau highly co-endemic with both alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and cystic (CE). past years, government has been increasing financial support to control diseases this Therefore, it very important identify significant risk factors by reviewing studies done region decade help policymakers design...
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by Echinococcus multilocularis, is a zoonotic helminthic disease that can mimic malignancy. In the 1970s, foci of were found in central China. The aim present study was to estimate prevalence AE humans 2 districts south Gansu Province, China, use ultrasound and serology. After answering an epidemiological questionnaire, 2,482 volunteers from 28 villages underwent ultrasound. Serology via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for antibody activity performed on...
To determine the true community prevalence of human cystic (CE) and alveolar (AE) echinococcosis (hydatid disease) in a highly endemic region Ningxia Hui, China, by detecting asymptomatic cases.Using hospital records "AE-risk" landscape patterns we selected study communities predicted to be at risk Guyuan, Longde Xiji counties. We conducted surveys 4773 individuals from 26 villages 2002 2003 using questionnaire analysis, ultrasound examination serology.Ultrasound serology showed range...
During 2005-2010, we investigated Echinococcus multilocularis infection within fox populations in a large area France. The parasite is much more widely distributed than hitherto thought, spreading west, with higher prevalence previously reported. also present the conurbation of Paris.
Background During the last eight years, North and South Kivu, located in a lake area Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, have been site major volcano eruption numerous complex emergencies with population displacements. These conditions suspected to favour emergence spread cholera epidemics. Methodology/Principal Findings In order assess influence these on outbreaks, reports cases were collected weekly from each health district Kivu (4,667,699 inhabitants) (4,670,121 2000 through 2007. A...
In Europe, bromadiolone, an anticoagulant rodenticide authorized for plant protection, may be applied intensively in fields to control rodents. The high level of poisoning wildlife that follows such treatments over large areas has been frequently reported. France, bromadiolone used water voles (Arvicola terrestris) since the 1980s. Both regulation and practices rodent have evolved during last 15 years restrict quantity poisoned bait by farmers. This led a drastic reduction number cases...
Human alveolar echinococcocosis (AE) is a highly pathogenic zoonotic disease caused by the larval stage of cestode E. multilocularis. Its life-cycle includes more than 40 species small mammal intermediate hosts. Therefore, host biodiversity losses could be expected to alter transmission. Climate may also have possible impacts on multilocularis egg survival. We examined distribution human AE across two spatial scales, (i) for continental China and (ii) over eastern edge Tibetan plateau....
The ability for a generalist consumer to adapt its foraging strategy (the multi-species functional response, MSFR) is milestone in ecology as it contributes the structure of food webs. trophic interaction between predator, red fox or barn owl, and prey community, mainly composed small mammals, has been empirically theoretically widely studied. However, extent which these predators their diet according both multi-annual changes multiple species availability (frequency dependence) variation...
