Both cystic- (hydatid disease) and alveolar echinococcosis are included, covering the most important disease forms of medical and public health relevance. Presented findings focus China and Europe and are at the same time of global significance for clinical management and control programs under the One Health approach. Echinococcosis is a relevant neglected tropical disease (NTD) and targeted for elimination by the WHO as a public health problem. The present book aids the critical actions for understanding the disease and its surveillance. In addition to fundamental information on tapeworm epidemiology, biology and immunopathogenesis, the chapters spotlight details on ultrasound diagnosis and staging, CT and MRI imaging. Moreover, molecular diagnostic tools, novel chemotherapeutics, and current vaccine research are discussed. The book is a valuable resource for human and veterinary medicine considering the Sustainable Development Goals research (SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being). Scientists, students, and medical professionals will find significant content on animal reservoirs, parasite transmission, prevention and treatment options. 410 0$aParasitology Research Monographs,$x2192-368X ;$v19 606 $aParasitology 606 $aPublic health 606 $aInvertebrates 606 $aVeterinary medicine 606 $aMedical microbiology 606 $aParasitology 606 $aPublic Health 606 $aInvertebrate Zoology 606 $aVeterinary Science 606 $aMedical Microbiology 615 0$aParasitology. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 0$aInvertebrates. 615 0$aVeterinary medicine. 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 615 14$aParasitology. 615 24$aPublic Health. 615 24$aInvertebrate Zoology. 615 24$aVeterinary Science. 615 24$aMedical Microbiology. 676 $a616.964 702 $aLi$b Jian 702 $aWang$b Wei 702 $aMehlhorn$b Heinz 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910869179003321 996 $aEchinococcus: Control and Elimination of Echinococcosis with a Focus on China and Europe$94238648 997 $aUNINA
