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)
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)
Polycystic Echinococcosis (PE), a neglected life-threatening zoonotic disease caused by the cestode Echinococcus vogeli, is endemic in the Amazon. (bvsalud.org)
This Neglected Disease Is Caused by a Worm Echinococcus Vogeli usually infecting cotton bales ( Paka Rabbit ) and agouti ( Arthrin ), are often hunted in the area. (oicanadian.com)
Polycystic echinococcosis8
The ingestion of E. vogeli eggs, and the spreading of the cysts through infected host, will results in Polycystic Echinococcosis. (wikipedia.org)
The diagnosis of polycystic echinococcosis involves isolating the protoscoleces during surgery or after the patients death in order to identify E. vogeli. (wikipedia.org)
Polycystic echinococcosis (PE) is an extremely lethal helminthic disease in humans, which is caused by the larval form of E. vogeli. (wikipedia.org)
Due to the similarities between liver cancer and polycystic echinococcosis, PE is hard to diagnose and could deadly when metastasized to other organs. (wikipedia.org)
In addition to the direct effects of climate on health, the study also identified indirect factors.Most recently published work on Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found in section Pan-Amazon El Niño can interfere with hunting patterns of certain animals by indigenous and rural populations, favoring the transmission and spread of polycystic echinococcosis. (oicanadian.com)
The international study analyzed more than 400 cases of polycystic echinococcosis in the region and data on hunting activity recorded in 55 regions over the past 55 years. (oicanadian.com)
The incidence of cystic echinococcosis (CE) in endemic areas ranges from 1-220 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, while the incidence of AE ranges from 0.03-1.2 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, making it a much more rare form of echinococcosis. (medscape.com)
Cystic echinococcosis has been recorded in 21 of China's 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities (approximately 87% of the territory). (med-chem.com)
Cystic echinococcosis is also widely found throughout the region comprising Arab North Africa and the Middle East. (med-chem.com)
Multilocularis2
E. vogeli is similar to E. multilocularis in that both species produces many small cysts that spread throughout the internal organs of the infected animal. (wikipedia.org)
[ 2 ] E multilocularis is rare but is the most virulent, and E vogeli is the most rare. (medscape.com)

Larval1
Echinococcosis is caused by larval cestodes of the phylum Platyhelminthes (tapeworms). (medscape.com)
Infestation2
Exposure to food and water contaminated by the feces of an infected definitive host or poor hygiene in areas of infestation can lead to echinococcosis. (medscape.com)
[ 7 ] Infestation with E vogeli is the most rare form of echinococcosis and is reported mainly in the southern parts of South America. (medscape.com)
Intermediate1
The life cycle of E. vogeli utilizes a definitive host and intermediate host, also known as primary and secondary host, respectively, each housing different stages of the parasite. (wikipedia.org)
Hosts1
Bush dogs and domestic dogs are the definitive hosts, harbouring the adult stage of E.vogeli. (wikipedia.org)

Imaging, such as ultrasound and CT scans, can also be used to identify polystytic structures, but this method is not preferred as images are similar to other types of echinococcosis and liver cancer. (wikipedia.org)

Echinococcosis is found in worldwide studies and has a prevalence rate between 1% and 10% in endemic areas, such as China, the Middle East, and South America. (medscape.com)
Oligarthrus3
E. vogeli causes a polycystic form whereas E. oligarthrus causes the extremely rare unicystic form. (cdc.gov)
Adults of E. vogeli reach up to 5.6 mm long, and E. oligarthrus up to 2.9 mm. (cdc.gov)
Disease due to E. vogeli is similar to AE and is characterized by aggressive infiltrative growth and external budding, whereas infection with E. oligarthrus has a more benign course. (cdc.gov)
Secondary2
If cysts rupture, the liberated protoscolices may create secondary cysts in other sites within the body (secondary echinococcosis). (cdc.gov)
Metastasis or dissemination to other organs (e.g., lungs, brain, heart, bone) may occur if protoscolices are released from cysts, sometimes called "secondary echinococcosis. (cdc.gov)
