When live scolices of Echinococcus grunulosus were incubated with labeled mevalonate in vitro, no radioactivity was incorporated into the parasites' cholesterol fraction. However, labeled cholesterol was recovered after a scolices' homogenate was incubated with 4-14C-cholesteryl acetate. It is sugge
We describe the 1.6 A crystal structure of the fatty-acid-binding protein EgFABP1 from the parasitic platyhelminth Echinococcus granulosus. E. granulosus causes hydatid disease, which is a major zoonosis. EgFABP1 has been implicated in the acquisition, storage, and transport of lipids, and may be im
## Abstract __Echinococcus granulosus__ is a parasitic platyhelminth, which causes cystid hydatid disease, a major zoonosis involving canids as definitive hosts, and both human and herbivorous domestic animals as intermediate hosts. The disease is caused in intermediate hosts by hydatid cysts, form
