“…The vast majority of cases reported in the literature concerning infection of CE in PLWH confirms this data [ 117 , 118 , 119 , 120 , 121 , 122 , 123 ]: most of them had a full recovery after treatment. There are two cases of AE in seropositive patients [ 124 , 125 ], and a case of Echinococcus vogeli , causing polycystic echinococcosis [ 126 ].…”

A zoonosis is an infectious disease that has jumped from a non-human animal to humans. Some zoonoses are very common in the Mediterranean area and endemic in specific regions, so they represent an important problem for public health. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that has originated as a zoonosis and is now diffused globally, with the most significant numbers of infected people among the infectious diseases. Since the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART), the history for people living with HIV (PLWH) has changed drastically, and many diseases are now no different in epidemiology and prognosis as they are in not-HIV-infected people. Still, the underlying inflammatory state that is correlated with HIV and other alterations related to the infection itself can be a risk factor when infected with other bacteria, parasites or viruses. We reviewed the literature for infection by the most common Mediterranean zoonoses, such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, Brucella, Rickettsia, Borrelia, Listeria and Echinococcus, and a possible correlation with HIV. We included Monkeypox, since the outbreak of cases is becoming a concern lately. We found that HIV may be related with alterations of the microbiome, as for campylobacteriosis, and that there are some zoonoses with a significant prevalence in PLWH, as for salmonellosis.

“…Faster growth of cysts in CE patients with AIDS suggests that immune suppression may play a role in CE progression (67,68). Conversely, the concept of an enhancing effect of CE on the occurrence of cancer in the population, because of a defect in immune surveillance linked to an Echinococcus-induced tolerance state, has been raised recently (69,70), although this hypothesis has not been rigorously evaluated.…”

SUMMARY Echinococcosis is a zoonosis caused by cestodes of the genus Echinococcus (family Taeniidae). This serious and near-cosmopolitan disease continues to be a significant public health issue, with western China being the area of highest endemicity for both the cystic (CE) and alveolar (AE) forms of echinococcosis. Considerable advances have been made in the 21st century on the genetics, genomics, and molecular epidemiology of the causative parasites, on diagnostic tools, and on treatment techniques and control strategies, including the development and deployment of vaccines. In terms of surgery, new procedures have superseded traditional techniques, and total cystectomy in CE, ex vivo resection with autotransplantation in AE, and percutaneous and perendoscopic procedures in both diseases have improved treatment efficacy and the quality of life of patients. In this review, we summarize recent progress on the biology, epidemiology, diagnosis, management, control, and prevention of CE and AE. Currently there is no alternative drug to albendazole to treat echinococcosis, and new compounds are required urgently. Recently acquired genomic and proteomic information can provide a platform for improving diagnosis and for finding new drug and vaccine targets, with direct impact in the future on the control of echinococcosis, which continues to be a global challenge.

“…Specificities in the occurrence and/or progression of CE in patients with immunosuppression are not clear; a few cases of associations have been reported, especially in patients with AIDS/HIV infection, but also with therapeutic immune suppression [e.g. (Capdevielle, 1984;Erayman et al, 2011;Gruener et al, 2008;Ran et al, 2016)] but there is no published systematic study that would be convincing of a significant enhancing effect of immune suppression on the incidence or the course of CE (such as faster cyst growth, multiple organ dissemination).…”
