An area close to the Qinghai-Tibet plateau region and subject to intensive deforestation contains a large focus of human alveolar echinococcosis while sporadic human cases occur in the Doubs region of eastern France. The current review analyses and c... Read More about Interactions between landscape changes and host communities can regulate echinococcus multilocularis transmission.

Classification, follow-up and recurrence of hepatic cystic echinococcosis using ultrasound images (2003)

Ultrasound image and morphological structure of hepatic cystic echinococcosis (CE) were analysed in 277 human cases (385 hepatic hydatid cysts). These included 65 CE cases from community surveys carried out between 1995 and 2000 in 3 countries (China...
