2019, Food and Waterborne ParasitologyCitation Excerpt :In some areas of Southern Germany, Eastern France, Northern Switzerland and Western Austria, more and more cases of disease and pathogen detection are being registered, possibly also through better diagnostic possibilities (Kern et al., 2003; Torgerson et al., 2010; Deplazes et al., 2017). Outside Central Europe human cases are reported from China with the Tibetan plateau and Mongolia, Northern Japan, Russia with Siberia, parts of Turkey, as well as parts of Canada and Alaska (Craig et al., 1992; Craig, 2006; Zhang et al., 2015; Deplazes et al., 2017). AE acts like a malignancy and predominantly affects the liver in >98% of cases but can grow infiltrating to adjacent structures and organs and also has the potential to produce distant ‘metastases’.
Echinococcosis transmission on the Tibetan Plateau
2019, Advances in ParasitologyCitation Excerpt :The application of ultrasound screening in Tibetan communities from the late 1990s showed that the real prevalence of both CE and AE was much higher than previously thought and those diseases were responsible for the greatest burden of human echinococcosis anywhere in the world (Budke et al., 2004, 2006; Torgerson et al., 2010) (see Table 1). In 1991 portable ultrasound was used to successfully screen for hepatic AE disease in poor Han upland (2000–2500 m altitude) agricultural villages in south Gansu Province situated approximately 300 km from the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau (Craig et al., 1992, 2000). Mass screening for echinococcosis using portable ultrasound in Tibetan communities however presented greater difficulties than for most other regions of China.
