A twenty-year history of alveolar echinococcosis

Solange Bresson‐Hadni, Dominique‐Angèle Vuitton, Brigitte Bartholomot, Bruno Heyd et autres

OBJECTIVES: Alveolar echinococcosis of the liver is a very rare and severe parasitic disease due to the growth of the larva of Echinococcus multilocularis. The aim of this paper was to describe a 20-year study of the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects …

Seroepidemiologic Screening of Echinococcus multilocularis Infection in a European Area Endemic for Alveolar Echinococcosis

S Bresson-Hadni, Jean‐Jacques Laplante, D Lenys, P Rohmer et autres

In a serologic survey for Echinococcus multilocularis infection, we screened sera from 7,884 subjects from the Doubs Departement in France, an area endemic for alveolar echinococcosis (AE) of the liver. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with a highly species-specific antigen (Em2) and …

Cellular immunity in experimental Echinococcus multilocularis infection. I. Sequential and comparative study of specific in vivo delayed-type hypersensitivity against E. multilocularis antigens in resistant and sensitive mice

Martine Liance, Solange Bresson‐Hadni, J P MEYER, R. Houin et autres

Species- or strain-related differences in receptivity of intermediate hosts to E. multilocularis larvae could be related to differences in specific cellular immune response of the host. In order to test this hypothesis, we assessed the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) to E. multilocularis antigens …

Cellular immunity in experimental Echinococcus multilocularis infection. II. Sequential and comparative phenotypic study of the periparasitic mononuclear cells in resistant and sensitive mice

Solange Bresson‐Hadni, Martine Liance, J P MEYER, R. Houin et autres

Cellular immune responses have been shown to be associated with differential evolutions of E. multilocularis infection in intermediate hosts. A relationship between course of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) against parasitic antigens and receptivity of murine strains has been demonstrated recently. The aim of …

Occurrence of Infectious Myxomatosis in Southern California.

John F. Kessel, C. C. Prouty, J P MEYER

During the summer of 1930 twelve reports from rabbitries in the regions of Santa Barbara, Ventura, and San Diego were made of a disease presenting the following symptoms. The rabbits were acutely ill and exhibited, as a rule, an oedematous condition in …
