    • Cystic Echinococcosis in Donkeys in Eastern Africa 

      Mulinge, Erastus; Zeyhle, Eberhard; Mbae, Cecilia; Gitau, Lucy; Kaburu, Timothy; Magambo, Japhet; Mackenstedt, Ute; Romig, Thomas; Kern, Peter; Wassermann, Marion (Cambridge University Press, 2023-02-27)
      Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is endemic in humans and domestic animals in Eastern Africa. All the species of the Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato complex have been reported in this region except for E. equinus, possibly ...

    • Distribution and genetic diversity of cystic echinococcosis in a non-endemic region: a one health approach 

      Mutwiri, Titus; Magambo, Japhet; Muigai, Anne W. T; Mulinge, Erastus; Zeyhle, Eberhard; Rogan, Mike; Fèvre, Eric M; Falzon, Laura C (Meru University of Science and Technology, 2022-06)
      Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s. l.) is an endemic zoonosis in pastoral communities in Kenya. However, the spread of CE to non-endemic areas is possible due to livestock ...

    • Echinococcosis in sub-Saharan Africa: emerging complexity 

      Romig, T; Omer, RA; Zeyhle, E {et al} (Elsevier, 2011)
      Cystic echinococcosis occurs in most regions of sub-Saharan Africa, but the frequency of this zoonosis differs considerably among and within countries. Especially human cases seem to be focally distributed. A number of ...

    • Global distribution of alveolar and cystic echinococcosis 

      Deplazes, P; Rinaldi, L; Rojas, CA Alvarez; Torgerson, PR; Harand, MF; Romig, T; Antolova, D; Schurer, JM; Lahmar, S; Cringoli, G; Magambo, J; Thompson, RCA; Jenkins, EJ (Academic Press, 2017)
      Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE) are severe helminthic zoonoses. Echinococcus multilocularis (causative agent of AE) is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere where it is typically maintained ...

    • Molecular characterization of Echinococcus species in dogs from four regions of Kenya 

      Mulinge, Erastus; Magambo, Japhet; Odongo, David; Njenga, Sammy; Zeyhle, Eberhard; Mbae, Cecilia; Kagendo, Dorothy; Addy, Francis; Ebi, Dennis; Wassermann, Marion; Kern, Peter; Romig, Thomas (Elsevier, 2018-05-15)
      Cystic echinococcosis is endemic both in livestock and humans in many parts of Kenya. However, very little data exists on Echinococcus infections in dogs, and therefore their role in maintaining the transmission cycles and ...

    • The monetary burden of cystic echinococcosis and its distribution based on gender and age in Turkana North District, Kenya 

      Joseph Odero; Magambo J; Zeyhle E; Kutima H; Ndahi L; Njoroge F; Mutwiri T; Mbaya H; Mbae C; Mulinge E; Kagendo D; Kern P; Romig T (Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Health Sciences, 2014)
      Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. The disease occurs worldwide, and is endemic in Turkana and Maasai areas, Kenya. The objective of the study was to assess ...

    • Prevalence of cystic echinococcosis and its economic significance in slaughtered livestock in kisumu east/west and isiolo districts of Kenya 

      Joseph Odero; Magambo J; Zeyhle E; Kutima H; Ndahi L; Njoroge F; Kern P; Romig T (International Journal of Information Research and Review, 2015)
      Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonosis caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus granulossus. The disease has a worldwide distribution and is endemic in livestock rearing, nomadic pastoral regions of Eastern ...
