Echinococcus multilocularis (causative agent of AE) is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere where it is typically maintained in a wild animal cycle including canids as definitive hosts and rodents as intermediate hosts. (uzh.ch)
It took about 100 years until it was undoubtedly clarified and accepted that CE and AE are not caused by a single Echinococcus species, but by E. granulosus and E. multilocularis, respectively. (gstsvs.ch)
Echinococcus multilocularis is a small tapeworm affecting wild and domestic carnivores and voles in a typical prey-predator life cycle. (biomedcentral.com)
Echinococcus multilocularis was identified in foxes from two out of six eco-regions, in 30 fecal samples, accounting for 1.04% within the cestode positives at coproscopy. (biomedcentral.com)
Currently, four species are recognized within the genus Echinococcus: E. granulosus (which causes cystic disease), E. multilocularis (which causes alveolar disease), E. vogeli (which causes polycystic disease), and E. oligarthrus (which causes polycystic disease). (med-chem.com)

The disease results from the development of the larval or hydatid form of the canine tenia, E. granulosus sensu lato (s.l. (openveterinaryjournal.com)
Echinococcosis8
As a consequence of large-scale outdoor slaughter of sheep during the 2001 foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in the United Kingdom and the possibility of increased risk for transmission of Echinococcus granulosus between sheep and dogs, a large survey of canine echinococcosis was undertaken in mid-Wales in 2002. (cdc.gov)
Furthermore, canine echinococcosis rates, measured indirectly with an Echinococcus- specific coproantigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), reflected the clinical data for intervention and nonintervention areas ( 9 ). (cdc.gov)
Echinococcus granulosus, also called the hydatid worm, hyper tape-worm or dog tapeworm, is a cyclophyllid cestode that dwells in the small intestine of canids as an adult, but which has important intermediate hosts such as livestock and humans, where it causes cystic echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease. (wikipedia.org)
Echinococcosis is a parasitic disease of tapeworms of the Echinococcus type characterized by production of unilocular or multilocular cystic disease of lung and liver. (capsulehealth.one)
The lifecycle of E. granulosus involves dogs and wild carnivores as a definitive host for the adult tapeworm. (wikipedia.org)
Cystic echinocccosis (CE), also known as hydatid disease, is caused by infection with the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus , a ~2-7 millimeter long tapeworm found in dogs (definitive host) and sheep, cattle, goats, and pigs (intermediate hosts). (cdc.gov)
Hydatidosis or hydatid cyst is a prevalent zoonosis all over the world due to larval forms of the tapeworm of the genus Echinococcus. (bvsalud.org)
Echinococcus granulosus is a small tapeworm that typically infects carnivores, such as dogs, foxes, and wolves, after the consumption of offal from infected intermediate hosts, such as sheep or pigs. (xiahepublishing.com)
Infection5
Echinococcus granulosus infection in sheep and dogs has been known to be endemic in parts of Wales and the English borders for many decades ( 1 - 3 ). (cdc.gov)
A follow-up abattoir and dog coproantigen survey in 1995 to 1996, however, indicated that E. granulosus infection had reemerged in sheep and dogs in the previous hydatid-control intervention areas ( 7 ). (cdc.gov)
Primary multiple temporal cystic lesion, minimally en- human infection are E. granulosus and cerebral hydatid cysts are quite unu- hanced after contrast. (who.int)
Echinococcus granulosus is the most frequent form of echinococcal infection in humans. (bvsalud.org)
Canadensis1
The species Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus ortleppi, Echinococcus canadensis and Echinococcus intermedius are the causative agents of CE with a worldwide distribution and a highly variable human disease burden in the different endemic areas depending upon human behavioural risk factors, the diversity and ecology of animal host assemblages and the genetic diversity within Echinococcus species which differ in their zoonotic potential and pathogenicity. (uzh.ch)

Over the past two decades, numerous studies have addressed the epidemiology and distribution of these Echinococcus species worldwide, resulting in better-defined boundaries of the endemic areas. (uzh.ch)
This chapter presents the global distribution of Echinococcus species and human AE and CE in maps and summarizes the global data on host assemblages, transmission, prevalence in animal definitive hosts, incidence in people and molecular epidemiology. (uzh.ch)
Genotypes1

Adult6
Echinococcus granulosus is ingested and attaches to the mucosa of the intestines in the definitive host and there the parasite will grow into the adult stages. (wikipedia.org)
Adult E. granulosus release eggs within the intestine which will be transported out of the body via feces. (wikipedia.org)
While adult E. granulosus is harmless in dogs, the larval form can be a huge problem in humans. (wikipedia.org)
Echinococcus granulosus adult, stained with carmine. (cdc.gov)
The adult worms of E. granulosus are very small (3 to 6 mm long) and consist of a scolex, neck, and only a single proglottid at each stage of development (immature, mature, and gravid). (med-chem.com)
