Abdi Rahman Gulaid Echinococcus (granulosus and multilocularis) Introduction Echinococcosis: Echinococcosis commomly known as Hydatid Disease or Hydatidosis, is caused by a parasitic cestodes (tapeworms) of the genus Echinococcus.? Four species of Echinococcus cause infection in humans are: E. granulosus causes cystic echinococcosis E. multilocularis causes alveolar echinococcosis E. vogeli causes polycystic echinococcosis E. oligarthrus is an extremely rare cause of human echinococcosis. The geographic distribution Echinococcus granulosus is widely distributed across Canada and more frequent in rural, grazing areas. Echinococcus multilocularis occurs in the northern hemisphere, including central Europe and the northern parts of Europe, Asia, and North America.? E. vogeli and E. oligarthrus occur in Central and South America. ? Size Definitive Intermediate E. granulosus Usually 3 to 6 mm long and consist of a scolex with suckers and hooks, as well as at least three proglottid segments. Adult worm: (adult worm): wolves, coyotes, domestic dogs Larval worm: Sheep, Goat, Camel, cattle, Goat, and Horse . E. Multilocularis 1.2-3.7 mm long with two to six proglottic segments. Adult worm: Arctic and red foxes, coyotes, sometimes domestic dogs and cats. Larval worm: rodents (voles, mice, muskrats). Humans E.Granulosus hosT E.multilocularis host Transmission and Life Cycle of Echinococcus The Hydatid Tapeworm Life Cycle Diagram Adult worm present in intestine of definitive host Eggs passed in feces, ingested by humans or intermediate host Onchosphere penetrates intestinal wall, carried via blood vessels to lodge in organs hydatid cysts develop in liver, lungs, brain, heart After ingestion, the protoscolices attach to the intestine. Ingested protoscolices attach to small intestine and develops into adult worm and the cycle starts all over again. Lifecycle: Echinococcus Egg in Feces Symptoms E. granulosus Can remain silent for years It is the enlarging
