Article Synopsis
- A 45-year-old man exhibited symptoms of jaundice, abdominal pain, and weight loss, leading to the diagnosis of Caroli syndrome through imaging.
- Subsequent MRI suggested the presence of a mass and bile duct stenosis that raised concerns for cholangiocarcinoma, but serology indicated an echinococcus infection instead.
- The patient ultimately underwent liver surgery, which confirmed the diagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis, emphasizing the challenges in diagnosing this neglected disease, especially in rising incidence areas like Germany.

Article Synopsis
- Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a neglected tropical disease found in Italy, primarily affecting wild boars and dogs, and poses a risk to rural populations and outdoor enthusiasts.
- A study was conducted involving 122 wild boar hunters from southern Italy, which included blood sampling and questionnaires to assess their knowledge about the infection risk related to CE.
- Results showed that 4.9% of hunters had exposure to CE, 6.3% of hunting dogs tested positive for Taeniidae eggs, and the findings indicate the need for better education and health monitoring to reduce infection rates among hunters and their dogs.

Article Synopsis
- Hydatidosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a significant health issue in cattle, leading to financial losses in Ethiopia due to affected organs like lungs and livers.
- A study at Wolaita Sodo abattoir found a hydatidosis prevalence of 17.9%, with a notable link to the body condition of the cattle, but no significant correlations with other factors like sex or breed.
- The majority of cysts were found to be sterile (55.4%), while only 38.8% were fertile, indicating a considerable health risk and economic impact due to the condemnation of infected organs.
