Based on the World Health Organization Informal Working Group on Echinococcosis (WHO-IWGE) classification of cyst stages by imaging-based techniques, four treatment options have been suggested: percutaneous-aspiration-injection and re-aspiration (PAIR), surgery, anti-parasitic therapy with benzimidazoles (BZM) and a watch-and-wait approach for inactive cysts (Siles-Lucas I et al i ., 2018). For I in vitro i studies involving Huh7 cells, the I S. multiaristata i extract (10 mg) was sequentially resuspended in 20 I i L of DMSO, 40 I i L of ethanol 96% and finally, 40 I i L of deionized water, giving a solution of 100 mg mL SP -1 sp . We found that the I S. multiaristata i extract caused both an I in vitro i effect on protoscoleces and cysts and also an I in vivo i therapeutic effect. [Extracted from the article]
