“…E granulosus is the most common causative parasite and may be seen in the Mediterranean region, Eastern Europe, Africa, South America, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand (1-7). E multilocularis can be found in the Arctic (eg, Alaska, Canada, the entire tundra region) and in some regions of Asia (Russia, China, Japan) and northern Europe (central and eastern France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany) (41,42). E vogeli is most frequently seen in the tropical regions of South America (2,43,44).…”

“…Metastatic lung disease (Fig 24) and chest wall compromise (Fig 25) are commonly seen. Calcifications may develop as the disease progresses (33%-100% of cases) (41)(42)(43). Secondary lung compromise by direct extension may mimic a lung cancer.…”

Parasitic infections are distributed worldwide and affect hundreds of millions of individuals-primarily those living in endemic areas or in regions with a high rate of immigration from endemic areas-causing significant morbidity and mortality. A broad spectrum of parasitic infections (eg, amebiasis, malaria, trypanosomiasis, ascariasis, strongyloidiasis, dirofilariasis, cystic echinococcosis, schistosomiasis, paragonimiasis) frequently affect the lungs, mediastinum, and thoracic wall, manifesting with abnormal imaging findings that often make diagnosis challenging. Although most of these infections result in nonspecific abnormalities, familiarity with their imaging features as well as their epidemiologic, clinical, and physiopathologic characteristics may be helpful to the radiologist in formulating an adequate differential diagnosis.

“…The larval infection or polycystic echinococcosis, is probably acquired from the feces of infected domestic dogs that have been fed on the viscera of infected pacas, a practice commonly reported (Meneghilli et al 1992). Infrequent human infections (Rodrigues-Silva et al 2002) are largely confined to Central and South America and occur by ingestion of larvated eggs (oncospheres) via contaminated food or the fur of the definitive hosts. Adult pseudophyllidean tapeworms such as Spirometra (syn.…”

“…PCE is accompanied with hunting habits in areas of tropical forest where wildlife is present such as wild dogs, cats and rodents, particularly nocturnal rodents such as the agouti (Dasyprocta aguti) and paca (Cuniculus paca). A case report refers to a patient from the northern region of Brazil, presenting with clinical suspicion of hepatic CE (Rodrigues-Silva et al 2002). Examination by ultrasonography and CT of the liver revealed a conglomerate of cystic lesions, with mobile contents within the (fluid-filled) cyst.…”

This paper reviews the literature on zoonotic cestode infections with specific reference to the years 1999-2003. The sources and prevalence of various zoonotic tapeworm infections caused by adult and larval stages of the genera Taenia, Echinococcus, Diphyllobothrium, Hymenolepis and Dipylidium continue to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality, not only in most underdeveloped countries but also in industrialized countries, particularly in rural areas or among immigrant groups from endemic areas. The review gives a detailed report on recent molecular epidemiological studies on the taxonomy and phylogenetic variations in Echinococcus granulosus, immunological tests and imaging techniques used in epidemiological surveys and clinical investigations of important adult and larval tapeworm infections of animals and humans. Larval stages or metacestodes of Taenia solium, Echinococcus spp. and pseudophyllidean tapeworms (Spirometra syn. Diphyllobothrium spp.) may reside in various tissues of their intermediate hosts, including humans. In particular, Cysticercus cellulosae (T. solium) and the larvae of E. granulosus, and E. multilocularis, which are predominantly located in the liver, lungs and central nervous system forming various types of cysts, lead to a complex of systemic diseases such as cysticercosis, cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis, respectively. Relatively rare clinical manifestations are seen in the muscles, subcutaneous tissue, spleen, kidneys, bones and body cavities.
