    <description>The authors frame the projections as motivation for forward-looking, spatially targeted surveillance and control of human echinococcosis in western China using a One Health approach, given anticipated shifts in alveolar echinococcosis endemicity and expansion of cystic echinococcosis endemicity under climate change.</description>

    <description>Alveolar echinococcosis is a lethal neglected disease when untreated, and current therapies with albendazole or mebendazole are parasitostatic rather than curative. The findings underscore ongoing challenges in developing effective treatments and highlight the importance of bridging in vitro promise with in vivo performance.</description>

    <title>Fistula formation in hepatic cystic echinococcosis: clinical impact, predictors, and outcomes from a 27-year cohort</title>

    <description>The abstract presents fistula formation as a marker of greater disease complexity in hepatic cystic echinococcosis and identifies features associated with its occurrence. It describes possible relevance to monitoring and intervention in endemic settings, but this single-centre retrospective study does not establish population-level effects or surveillance trends.</description>

    <description>The authors describe alveolar echinococcosis as an emerging, under-recognized zoonotic disease in Canada and emphasize that early recognition using Em-specific diagnostics, along with a One Health approach integrating human, veterinary, and wildlife data, is needed to reduce morbidity and mortality.</description>

    <description>Findings are framed as offering new targets and insights for immunotherapeutic strategies in alveolar echinococcosis, where current drug efficacy is poor in inoperable disease.</description>

    <description>The report is relevant to rare-infection diagnostics and literature discovery for alveolar echinococcosis, especially where routine testing did not identify a cause. It sits within the article&apos;s diagnostics and One Health framing.</description>

    <description>This paper is relevant as a consolidated source on a rare form of cystic echinococcosis that can affect cardiac function and may require prolonged follow-up after treatment. It is useful for editorial context on diagnosis and management, not as evidence of a live surveillance signal.</description>

    <description>The findings address diagnostic and monitoring challenges for cystic echinococcosis, a neglected zoonotic disease where current serological assays lack standardization and have suboptimal performance. GST-2B2t may improve confirmation testing and post-treatment monitoring in seropositive patients.</description>

    <description>The authors conclude that addressing these research gaps within a short timeframe could enable elimination of all three diseases in mainland China.</description>
