Objectives: Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (EG) causes cystic echinococcosis (CE), a neglected zoonotic disease with a global control burden in the billions of dollars. We provide a comprehensive overview of EG control interventions worldwide. Methods: We followed the Arksey and O'Malley Framework. We identified and coded selected articles and classified the data based on target host, type of study, and control mechanism. We described each intervention's efficacy, safety, barriers, and facilitators. Critical appraisal was conducted independently by two reviewers using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Results: We screened 7853 studies and analyzed seven on human interventions, 21 on animals, and 17 on both. Human studies focused mostly on educational strategies and monitoring. Animal studies focused predominantly on praziquantel (PZQ) for dogs and the EG95 vaccine for sheep. Animal a...

INTRODUCTION The emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has passed, but we must study the potential sequelae left in the population. Cases of pulmonary fibrosis have been reported after severe COVID-19. However, the association between these factors has not been widely studied in Latin American countries, one of the regions most affected by the pandemic. METHODS A case-control study was conducted to determine whether a history of hospitalization due to COVID-19 is a risk factor for developing pulmonary fibrosis. We compared patients with a radiological diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis on high-resolution computed tomography (cases) with those without such findings (controls), conducted between March 2021 and June 2023 in a referral hospital in Lima, Peru. RESULTS Among the total number of patients evaluated, the median age was 72 years, with a predominance of females (58.2%). 7.5% of pa...
