Research on the progress of programmed cell death in echinococcosis
Echinococcosis is a serious zoonosis disease caused by the metacestode stage larval of Echinococ-cus granulosus and E.mulculoris.Humans as an intermediate host infected by the larvae stages of the parasites through accidental ingestion of the eggs.Programmed cell death is common in the growth and development of Echino-coccus.Programmed cell death includes apoptosis,pyroptpsis,autophagy and ferroptosis.In this review,we summarized the role of programmed cell death pathways in the echinococcosis and try to provide a basic theoryto explore poten-tial targets for the prevention and treatment of echinococcosis.
