The incidence of hospital-diagnosed human hydatid disease acquired in the UK was estimated from a survey based on Hospital Activity Analysis data for the period 1974-83. The average annual incidence in Wales was 0.4 per 100,000 population compared with 0.02 per 100,000 in England. Within Wales, Powys, and particularly Brecknock, had the highest incidence (7 per 100,000 per year). Compared with the period 1953-62, the average annual incidence for Wales fell by half (from 0.8 to 0.4 per 100,000 per year), but in Powys the incidence did not decline, and in Brecknock and Montgomery there was a marginal increase. In comparison with 1953-62, the age-specific incidence in Wales and Powys decreased in each age group with the notable exception of children less than 15 years of age. This finding emphasizes that transmission of Echinococcus granulosus to humans is still occurring at hyper-endemic levels in parts of England and Wales and that control efforts should be intensified.
根据1974 - 1983年医院活动分析数据进行的一项调查，估算了在英国确诊的医院获得性人类包虫病的发病率。威尔士的年平均发病率为每10万人0.4例，而英格兰为每10万人0.02例。在威尔士境内，波伊斯，尤其是布雷克诺克的发病率最高（每年每10万人7例）。与1953 - 1962年期间相比，威尔士的年平均发病率下降了一半（从每年每10万人0.8例降至0.4例），但在波伊斯发病率并未下降，在布雷克诺克和蒙哥马利则略有上升。与1953 - 1962年相比，威尔士和波伊斯各年龄组的年龄别发病率均有所下降，但15岁以下儿童是明显的例外。这一发现强调，在英格兰和威尔士的部分地区，细粒棘球绦虫向人类的传播仍处于高度流行水平，应加强防控措施。
