Abstract

Hydatidosis, caused by dog tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus, is one of the most important cestode infections of man. It is widely distributed and recent information points to a spread of the disease into areas previously free of it. This article reviews recent advances in understanding the biology of Echinococcus, relating these developments to the epidemiology of hydatid disease and its control.

摘要

由棘球绦虫属的犬绦虫引起的包虫病是人类最重要的绦虫感染之一。该病分布广泛，近期信息表明其正向以前未受影响的地区蔓延。本文综述了在了解棘球绦虫生物学方面的最新进展，并将这些进展与包虫病的流行病学及其控制联系起来。
