Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Hydatidosis is a major public health problem globally and in Iran and caused by Echinococcus spp. This zoonotic disease is responsible for approximately 1% of human admission cases to surgical wards in Iran and the rate of human infection is high. Hydatid cyst infections can also negatively affect livestock productivity. The prevalence of hydatid cysts in human and animal reservoirs has been observed in many provinces of Iran, which convinced the authorities to implement appropriate programs to decrease the outbreak of the disease.
