Treatment of Hydatid Liver Disease: What does the evidence say
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
Cystic echinococcosis is a disease of animals and humans caused by the larval stage of-of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato and has a substantial public health impact globally. The condition is considered a neglected tropical disease (NTD) and neglected zoonotic disease (NZD), and prioritized by the World Health Organization (WHO) 1. Within the last 10 years, advancements have taken place in Echinococcus biology and genetics, including the delineation of new species within E.granulosus sensu lato (s.l.)2,3 and full sequencing of E. granulosus sensustricto. 2 Consequently, researchers are now provided with new tools to better understand parasite biology and host-parasite interactions, with the goal of opening new avenues for therapy 2. Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto (s. s.) (G1-3) is responsible for the great majority of human CE worldwide (88.48%), has the most cosmopolitan distribution and is often associated with transmission via sheep as intermediate hosts.
