Article Synopsis
- - Cystic echinococcosis (CE) poses a significant health risk in Algeria, with surgery being the main treatment but facing complications like recurrence from protoscoleces spread during operations.
- - This study evaluated the scolicidal effects of Atriplex halimus extracts (both ethanolic and aqueous) by analyzing their phytochemical content and antioxidant activity, finding notable differences in phenolic and flavonoid levels.
- - The results indicated that both extracts showed strong scolicidal effects at specific concentrations and times, suggesting that Atriplex halimus could be a promising natural option to enhance CE surgical outcomes.
Cystic echinococcosis is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato. The disease is characterized by the long-term growth of cysts, most commonly in the liver and lungs. Although an ideal model of cystic echinococcosis should induce the development of cysts in the liver and imitate the natural infection route, the murine model of intraperitoneal is still widely used in the field of experimental theraphy.

The larval stage of the parasite (s.l) is responsible for cystic echinococcosis (CE), a long-term infection affecting humans and animals worldwide, and constitutes a serious public health concern. If left untreated, CE can cause serious damage to multiple organs, especially the liver and lungs.
