Echinococcosis
MONDO:0005738A parasitic infection caused by tapeworm larvae of Echinococcus. It affects livestock and humans. It is characterized by the formation of hydatid cysts mainly in the liver, lungs, spleen, and kidneys. Rupture of the cysts may lead to shock.
Also known as: Echinococcus caused disease or disorder, Echinococcus disease or disorder, Echinococcus infectious disease, echinococcosis, echinococcal disease, echinococcosis, unspecified, of liver, hepatic echinococcosis, hydatid disease

Surgeons try super glue to seal bile leaks after liver parasite surgery
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a new surgical technique for people with liver echinococcosis (a parasitic infection) who develop bile leaks after surgery. The method uses a special medical glue to seal the leak, aiming to reduce complications and speed up recovery. Researchers will track how o…

Scientists hunt for hidden parasite seeds in liver surgery samples
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at whether tiny parasite cells (germinal elements) are present in the liver tissue right next to or inside the fibrous wall of hydatid cysts in people with liver echinococcosis. Researchers will collect tissue samples from 100 patients during surgery to check for…
