| using the genetics of echinococcus multilocularis to trace the history of expansion from an endemic area. | alveolar echinococcosis, caused by the cestode echinococcus multilocularis, is the most serious parasitic disease for humans in europe, with a sylvatic life cycle generally between small rodents and red foxes. general expansion of the range of e. multilocularis has been observed across europe over the last 15years. in france, a westward spread of the known endemic areas of the parasite was described recently. for genotyping, the microsatellite emsb was used to trace expansion in five french area ... | 2014 | 24468327 |
| genetic diversity of echinococcus multilocularis on a local scale. | echinococcusmultilocularis is the causative agent of human alveolar echinococcosis (ae), and it is one of the most lethal zoonotic infections in the northern hemisphere. in france, the eastern and central regions are endemic areas; franche-comté, lorraine and auvergne are particularly contaminated. recently, several human cases were recorded in the french ardennes area, a region adjacent to the western border of the e. multilocularis range in france. a previous study in this focus described a pr ... | 2008 | 18406214 |
| [intermediate hosts of echinococcus multilocularis in northeastern france. description of lesions found in 3 naturally infested rodent species]. | the authors describe lesions of echinococcus multilocularis larvae found in one of 476 clethrionomys glareolus and one of 16 arvicola terrestris examined from lorraine and in four microtus arvalis from jura. the receptivity of each of these host-species is discussed. | 1986 | 3524402 |
