Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to contribute to the echinococcosis control in Qinghai province, China, an epidemiological survey and a deworming trial were conducted. Since the feces of foxes, one of the most important definitive hosts of Echinococcus multilocularis, were deposited away from the residence area of nomad people, the risk of E. multilocularis transmission from foxes to humans was assumed to be low. Although a deworming trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of education on deworiming conductivity, a national deworming trial of dogs was started in the last year at our study site, thus, the effect of education could not be elucidated. In parallel to this, a new chemotherapeutic drug for echinococcosis was developed against mitochondrial respiratory chain of the parasite and an effective compound that reduced the cyst development of E. multilocularis was discovered.
