Parasitic1

• 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)

Larval6

• While adult E. granulosus is harmless in dogs, the larval form can be a huge problem in humans. (wikipedia.org)

• El agente causante es el céstodo Echinococcus granulosus, cuyo estadio adulto se desarrolla en el intestino delgado de hospederos definitivos (caninos) y el desarrollo del estadio larval se presenta principalmente en el hígado y pulmón de hospederos intermediarios como el ganado ovino. (edu.pe)
• Echinococcosis, caused by larval stage of the genus Echinococcus , is one of the most important zoonotic diseases worldwide. (cambridge.org)

Cystic echinococcosis3

• 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)
• Echinococcus granulosus is a harmful cestode parasite that causes cystic echinococcosis in humans as well as various livestock species and wild animals. (qxmd.com)
• The purpose of this study was to determine the presence and prevalence of Echinococcus species in stray dogs of Erzurum, a highly endemic region for cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) in Turkey. (cambridge.org)

Cestode1

• Echinococci are platyhelminths of the cestode genus. (medscape.com)

Prevalence2

• The prevalence of Echinococcus granulosus was found to be 4.35% in a 2008 study in Bangalore, India employing this coproantigen detection technique. (wikipedia.org)
• Molecular analyses and sequencing revealed the prevalence of Echinococcus spp. (cambridge.org)

Parasite2

• 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)
• Although rare, the parasite can form a cyst causing cystic echinococcus also known as hydatid disease. (wikipedia.org)

Stray dogs1

• The stray dogs harboured five different Echinococcus spp. (cambridge.org)

Scolex1

• Like all cyclophyllideans, E. granulosus has four suckers on its scolex ("head"), and E. granulosus also has a rostellum with hooks. (wikipedia.org)

Species3

• A recent consensus on the terminology in the field of echinococcosis has fixed the names of the diseases, the various species of Echinococcus involved and several terms to be used in the scientific literature on the subject. (medscape.com)
• We can't say which species of Echinococcus is present from the image alone, but it is most likely to be E. granulosus, as this is the most common species to infect humans, and it commonly forms a liver cyst that is amenable to aspiration. (blogspot.com)

Definitive host3

• The lifecycle of E. granulosus involves dogs and wild carnivores as a definitive host for the adult tapeworm. (wikipedia.org)
• E. granulosus requires two host types, a definitive host and an intermediate host. (wikipedia.org)
• Eventually, the metacestodes are filled with protoscoleces, which, upon predation by a definitive host, lead to a new generation of adult worms in the definitive host's intestine. (biomedcentral.com)

• Humans can also be an intermediate host for E. granulosus, however this is uncommon and therefore humans are considered an aberrant intermediate host. (wikipedia.org)
