Article Abstract
We distributed anthelmintic baits on a university campus in Japan inhabited by foxes infected with Echinococcus multilocularis to design an effective baiting protocol for small public areas. High-density baiting can reduce the risk for human exposure to the parasite to near zero. However, monthly baiting is recommended to maintain this effect.

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a life-threatening disease caused by the metacestode stage of the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, primarily in the liver. Current drug treatments rely on benzimidazoles, which are not parasiticidal, requiring life-long therapy with significant side effects. Therefore, novel drug treatments are urgently needed.

Background: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a life-threatening parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus multilocularis, often misdiagnosed as malignancy. Though historically considered non-endemic in India, recent reports suggest an emerging trend, particularly in Kashmir. The lack of systematic data on Indian AE cases has limited our understanding of its epidemiology warranting a systematic description of Indian AE cases.

BACKGROUND is a parasite causing alveolar echinococcosis (AE), a severe disease affecting primarily the liver. Surveillance of this non-notifiable disease in France is performed by the National Reference Center for Echinococcoses (NRC-E).AIMWe aimed to analyse changes in epidemiological, clinical and survival data of patients with AE over time.
