  abstract  = {Alveolar echinococcosis (AE), a severe and life-threatening disease is caused by the small fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Currently, the options of chemotherapeutic treatment are very limited and are based on benzimidazole compounds, which act merely parasitostatic in vivo and often display strong side effects. Therefore, new therapeutic drugs and targets are urgently needed. In the present work the role of two evolutionarily conserved signalling pathways in E. multilocularis, namely the insulin signalling cascade and Abl kinases, has been studied in regard to host-parasite interaction and the possible use in anti-AE chemotherapy.},
