Echinococcosis is an important agricultural and public health problem in the People's Republic of Bulgaria. Organized and purposeful control since 1960 has proved to be effective. In the investigated period from 1975 to 1979 a decreased infestation with Echinococcus granulosus of man and farm animals could be observed. Infestation degree of sheep is below 20% in flat areas, whereas in mountainous regions it is well over 50%. The infestation of the population with echinococcosis is not equally distributed. It varies between 0.7 and 5.77 in 100,000 persons in different areas. The most common sources of infection are "domestic" dogs (57.76%), followed by hunting dogs (28.58%) and herding dogs (13.56%).
棘球蚴病是保加利亚人民共和国一个重要的农业和公共卫生问题。自1960年以来有组织、有目的的防治工作已证明是有效的。在1975年至1979年的调查期间，可以观察到人和家畜感染细粒棘球绦虫的情况有所减少。平原地区绵羊的感染率低于20%，而山区则远超过50%。棘球蚴病在人群中的感染分布不均。不同地区每10万人中的感染率在0.7至5.77之间。最常见的感染源是“家养”狗（57.76%），其次是猎犬（28.58%）和牧羊犬（13.56%）。
