frequency distribution of echinococcus granulosus in dog populations in the xinjiang uygur autonomous region, china.age-prevalence and age-intensity data of echinococcus granulosus in dog populations were collected in four counties in the xinjiang uygur autonomous region, people's republic of china. the frequency distribution of the parasite per dog was adequately described by the negative binomial model, with parameter k being 0.0571. the mathematical model of the life cycle of e. granulosus constructed by roberts et al. (1986--parasitology, vol. 92, pages 621-641) was used to estimate the epidemiologic para ...19921413455
independent evaluation of a canine echinococcosis control programme in hobukesar county, xinjiang, china.the xinjiang uyghur autonomous region in northwest china is one of the world's most important foci for cystic echinococcosis. domestic dogs are the main source for human infection, and previous studies in xinjiang have found a canine echinococcus spp. coproelisa prevalence of between 36% and 41%. in 2010 the chinese national echinococcosis control programme was implemented in xinjiang, and includes regular dosing of domestic dogs with praziquantel. six communities in hobukesar county, northwest ...201525661801
a pilot study for control of hyperendemic cystic hydatid disease in china.cystic hydatid disease (chd) is a global parasitic zoonosis caused by the dog tapeworm, echinococcus granulosus. the disease is hyperendemic in western china because of poor economic development; limited community knowledge of chd; widespread, small-scale household animal production; home killing of livestock; and the feeding of dogs with uncooked offal.200919859535
epidemiological evaluations of the efficacy of slow-released praziquantel-medicated bars for dogs in the prevention and control of cystic echinococcosis in man and animals.to assess the epidemiological efficacy of type srp iii slow-released praziquantel-medicated bars for dogs in the prevention and control of cystic echinococcosis in man and livestock, praziquantel-medicated bars were implanted subcutaneously in over 90% of dogs in villages in north xinjiang, china, where cystic echinococcosis is highly endemic. after implantation, infection rate of echinococcus granulosus in dogs, specific antibodies in children and prevalence of echinococcosis in one-year-old la ...200516231860
human cystic echinococcosis in two mongolian communities in hobukesar (china) and bulgan (mongolia).in order to investigate the prevalence of human cystic echinococcosis (ce) in traditional mongolian communities in western mongolia and xinjiang (northwest china), studies were carried out between 1995 and 2000, on two ethnically identical populations in hobukesar (china) and bulgan (mongolia). the prevalence of human hepatic ce in the two communities was significantly different. in hobukesar, human ce prevalence by ultrasound was 2.7% (49/1844), while in bulgan it was 0.2% (4/1609) (p<0.001). d ...200515990129
short report: echinococcus granulosus from xinjiang, pr china: cdnas encoding the eg95 vaccine antigen are expressed in different life cycle stages and are conserved in the oncosphere.the eg95-based vaccine protects sheep from infection with the dog tapeworm echinococcus granulosus. the eg95 encoding gene is a member of a multigene family, several members of which are expressed in the oncosphere, believed to be the target of immunity induced by the vaccine. e. granulosus exhibits extensive intraspecific (strain) variation, and variability of the eg95 gene in different isolates of e. granulosus may directly impact the effectiveness of the eg95-based vaccine. we analyzed the eg ...200312556145
mitochondrial genomic markers confirm the presence of the camel strain (g6 genotype) of echinococcus granulosus in north-western china.twenty-eight isolates of e. granulosus, collected from humans at surgery, and a range of intermediate hosts, including sheep, cattle and camels from abattoirs in north and south xinjiang uygur autonomous region, people's republic of china, were analysed for dna sequence variation within regions of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase i (coi) and nadh dehydrogenase subunit i (ndi) genes. the isolates were categorized into 2 distinct and uniform genotypic groupings, based on the sequences obtain ...19989481771
seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii in dogs in shandong, henan, and heilongjiang provinces, and in the xinjiang uygur autonomous region, people's republic of china.abstract seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection was determined in sera of 632 (551 pets, 81 stray) dogs from shandong, henan, and heilongjiang provinces, and in the xinjiang uygur autonomous region, china (prc) using the indirect hemagglutination assay (iha, cut off titer 1:64 or higher); 11.1% were seropositive. the seroprevalence in stray dogs and in dogs ?3 yr-old was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than that in household dogs and in dogs <3 yr- old. there were no significant differe ...201121859330
genotyping of human cystic echinococcosis in xinjiang, pr china.the xinjiang uygur autonomous region, multi-ethnic province in northwestern china, is one of the most important foci of human cystic echinococcosis (ce) in the world. two echinococcus granulosus genotypes (g1 and g6) are known to infect the intermediate hosts in this area but, to date, the source of the human infection remains unclear. the current study aimed to genetically analyse 67 hydatid cysts removed from 47 ce patients for which epidemiological, clinical and serological data were also rec ...200616836793
morphological and molecular characteristics of echinococcus multilocularis and echinococcus granulosus mixed infection in a dog from xinjiang, china.the xinjiang plateau of western china has been shown to have a high prevalence for human cystic echinococcosis (ce) caused by echinococcus granulosus, and human alveolar echinococcosis (ae) caused by echinococcus multilocularis. the domestic dog is suspected to be the primary definitive host for the transmission of both e. granulosus and e. multilocularis to humans in this locality. seventeen of 30 stray dogs from hejing county of xinjiang were found positive for e. granulosus post mortem, and o ...200616616990
