Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by the chronic infection of E. multilocularis, whose tumor-like growth can lead to high fatality if improperly treated. The early diagnosis of infection and the treatment of advanced AE remain challenging. Herein, bulk RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, and spatial transcriptomics technologies are integrated, to reveal the host immune response mechanism against E. multilocularis both spatially and chronologically, collecting mouse liver samples at multiple timepoints up to 15 months post infection. These results unveil an unprecedented high-resolution spatial atlas of the E. multilocularis infection foci and the functional roles of neutrophils, Spp1+ macrophages, and fibroblasts during disease progression. The heterogeneity of neutrophil and macrophage subpopulations are critical in both parasite-killing and the occurrence of immunosuppression during AE progression. These findings indicate the transition of parasite control strategy from "active killing" to "negative segregation" by the host, providing instructive insights into the treatment strategy for echinococcosis.

Public Health Genomics (tool)

RRID:SCR_006462

The Office of Public Health Genomics (OPHG) aims to integrate genomics into public health research, policy, and programs. Doing so could improve interventions designed to prevent and control the country''s leading chronic, infectious, environmental, and occupational diseases. OPHG''s efforts focus on conducting population-based genomic research, assessing the role of family health history in disease risk and prevention, supporting a systematic process for evaluating genetic tests, translating genomics into public health research and programs, and strengthening capacity for public health genomics in disease prevention programs. Goals: To improve public health interventions of diseases of major public health importance, including chronic, infectious, environmental, and occupational diseases, through six major initiatives: * Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention (EGAPP), * Human Genome Epidemiology Network (HuGENet), * NHANES Collaborative Genomics Project, * Family History Public Health Initiative, * Genomics Translation Research and Programs, and, * Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention Network (GAPPNet).
