Thirty-two cases of hydatidosis were collected in two Nigerian hospitals during a 5-year period; 81% of these had extra-hepatic localizations. Human hydatidosis has been considered as exceptional in West Africa but seems to be an underestimated disease in Niger. Studies in slaughtered animals from Niger show a high prevalence of hydatidosis in camels while no infection was found among sheep.
在5年期间，尼日利亚两家医院收集了32例包虫病病例；其中81%有肝外定位。人类包虫病在西非被认为很罕见，但在尼日尔似乎是一种被低估的疾病。对尼日尔屠宰动物的研究表明，骆驼的包虫病患病率很高，而在绵羊中未发现感染。
