Abstract

Alveolar echinococcosis is a disease caused by infection of Echinococcus multilocularis metacestode, which leads to severe clinical symptoms with high mortality. This disease develops from the host liver, damaging hepatocytes. E. multilocularis metacestode infection could affect the expression of hepatocyte collagen gene, cell cycle alteration, mediation of host immune responses, activation of signaling pathways and expression of related genes. This paper reviews the mechanisms damaging the host hepatocytes to provide useful reference information for treatment of alveolar echinococcosis.
