Echinococcosis
Etiology & Epidemiology
Echinococcosis / Hydatid Disease
kyste hydatique / Hydatidosis Zoonotic infection caused by the larval stages of cestodes belonging to the genus Echinococcus
How many Echinococcus species are there?
classic medical literatures: 4 species
- E. granulosus
> cystic echinococcosis
- E. multilocularis
> Alveolar echinococcosis
- E. vogeli
> polycystic echinococcosis
- E. oligarthra
> Unicystic echinococcosis
Recent findings reveal at least 10 species
Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato

In dogs and other carnivores
Global importance of cystic echinococcosis
Non-monetary burden:
- More than one million DALY
Monetary burden:
- $ 3.0 billion

What is Epidemiology ?
- in people
- in dogs and other carnivores
- in sheep, etc.

CE status in Iran
Annual surgical cases : 0.6-2.6 / 105 population Ultrasound (US) prevalence in humans: 0.2-1.8 % Prevalence in dogs: 6.8-55.7 % Prevalence in livestock: 0.4-74.4 %
- January 1990 to December 2015
- Most cases of human hydatidosis were in southern Iran, with a prevalence of 5.8% (3.2–9.2%).
