The socio-economic impact of cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is reviewed with special reference to the following topics: consequences in man and livestock, costs and benefits of control programmes and economic procedures for evaluating control programmes. Examples of some important costs and benefits are given. Many consequences in man and livestock are difficult to evaluate from an economic point of view, because some basic data are difficult to obtain in many countries. However, the socio-economic evaluation of the consequences of CE and of the present and future control actions proves indispensable to best use available resources and possibly tailor control stategies.
本文回顾了由细粒棘球绦虫引起的囊型包虫病（CE）的社会经济影响，特别提及以下主题：对人类和牲畜的影响、控制项目的成本与效益以及评估控制项目的经济程序。文中给出了一些重要成本和效益的示例。从经济角度来看，人类和牲畜受到的许多影响难以评估，因为在许多国家一些基础数据难以获取。然而，对囊型包虫病的影响以及当前和未来控制行动进行社会经济评估，对于最佳利用现有资源并可能调整控制策略而言是必不可少的。
