Abstract: Echinococcosis (hydatid disease) is the infection of humans and animals by the larval stages of taeniid cestodes of the genus Echinococcus. Five species have been recognized, Echinococcus granulosus, E. multilocularis, E. vogeli, E. oligarthus, and E. shiquicus, but the first three are of public health importance. This review covers aspects of the biology, etiology, epidemiology, transmission, clinical features of the Echinococcus organisms, and recent advances in diagnosis and treatment of the diseases they cause. Despite progress achieved in the control of echinococcosis in certain areas, this zoonosis continues to be a major public health problem in many countries.
