Alberta now a 'hot spot' for tapeworm that can cause fatal tumours in humans, study cautions

This remains a pretty rare disease but we should be paying attention to it'



Alberta is now a hot spot of a potentially deadly tapeworm passed from wild canines to humans, and many cases of the parasitic infection could be going undetected, warns an infectious disease specialist.



"Alberta is clearly the hot spot," said Stan Houston, a University of Alberta professor in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry and lead author of a new study detailing a recent cluster of alveolar echinococcosis (AE) cases in Alberta.



"There could be a number of people out there in the community incubating the disease that we haven't found yet but time will tell."



Houston's study, published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, details 17 cases diagnosed in Alberta between 2013 and 2020, including a man who died of surgical complications from the infection.



Before the recent surge in Alberta, only two human cases of the disease had been confirmed in North America — one in Manitoba in 1928 and another in Minnesota in 1977, Houston said.



"This remains a pretty rare disease but we should be paying attention to it," Houston said.



"It's been found in Saskatchewan and in B.C., but Alberta has had most of the cases."



AE is an infection caused by the European strain of a tiny intestinal tapeworm. It's believed the strain arrived in Canada through imported dogs, Houston said.



The parasite is often carried by wild canines, such as coyotes, but domestic dogs can also be a carrier.



Humans can acquire the infection by ingesting food or soil contaminated with worm eggs too small to see. In humans, the disease develops slowly and causes multiplying lesions in the body, usually in the liver.



Treatment involves surgery or a lifelong regimen of medication to keep the lesions in check. The disease is more severe in people who are immunocompromised. Without treatment, the infection is usually fatal.

Politics seems mundane to me now but maybe I'm just feeling apathetic to the current administration. I think I'll look more to the things I have control over, home, family, community. Enjoying our flowering garden and a visit to the Canadian Rockies surely allows one to refocus.

I agree 110%. I'm done with our horseshit politics. It's not like they give a fuck what I want to happen anyway. I'd rather spend time doting on my two little boys and enjoying the outdoors this summer.
