28 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a serious parasitic disease caused by the larvae of Echinococcus multilocularis. It is the less common but substantially more deadly of the 2 major echinococcosis diseases that can occur globally but are concentrated in central Asia.
