Cystic echinococcosis (CE) or hydatidosis is a parasitic disease affecting both humans and animals. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the ELISA test in diagnosis of human hydatidosis using crude protoscolices antigens. Echinococcus granulosus protoscolices were isolated from the human liver hydatid cyst (local strain G1).

Chemotherapy, used to treat hydatid cysts, can cause problems due to various side effects. Consequently, there is growing interest in non-chemical alternatives, such as medicinal plant extracts, as potential new treatments for hydatid cysts. This study investigated the protoscolicidal activity of green tea (Camellia sinensis) and lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) extracts at different concentrations and exposure times under laboratory conditions.

(1) Background: (CE) is an -induced worldwide parasitic zoonosis and is a recognized public health and socio-economic concern. The liver is the major target organ for CE's infective form protoscolex (PSCs), which causes serious liver damage and endangers the host's life. Reports show that PSC infection causes liver cell Fe metabolism disorder and abnormal deposition of Fe in liver cells and results in liver cell death.

Introduction: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a chronic zoonotic disease caused by the larvae of the (). The current chemotherapy for AE relies on albendazole and mebendazole, which exhibit only parasitostatic rather than parasiticidal effects. Therefore, there is a need to find new anti-Echinococcosis drugs.
