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 (CE) is a parasitic zoonotic disease with a widespread occurrence, particularly in developing countries. Known as a neglected disease, it is highly prevalent in Algeria with a significant public health concern and substantial financial losses. The objectives of this study was to explore knowledge and awareness and practice of the Algerian population regarding this disease.

Cystic echinococcosis is a neglected tropical parasitic disease affecting both humans and animals with considerable socioeconomic impact on affected pastoral and poor communities. CE is endemic in the Mediterranean basin, including Algeria posing a real threat for either animal and public health. This study was conducted to evaluate the level of awareness and knowledge of Algerian university students about this disease and to describe their attitude toward some risky practices.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) induces in the human host innate and adaptive immune response that plays an important role in controlling the immunopathogenesis. Due to the crucial role of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in regulating immuno-inflammatory processes, we investigated its potential contribution in systemic and local immuno-inflammatory responses in primary CE patients and relapsed patients. The expression of NF-κB and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was analyzed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) as well as in pericystic layer of pulmonary hydatid cysts from Algerian primary CE patients and relapsed patients.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) of humans and animals is caused by various species of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato. Of these, E. granulosus sensu stricto has the widest geographical distribution and is the most important agent of human cystic echinococcosis.
