| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | Human cystic echinococcosis (hydatid disease) continues to be a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality in
many parts of the world. Elimination is diffi cult to obtain and it is estimated that, using current control options,
achieving such a goal will take around 20 years of sustained eff orts. Since the introduction of current (and past)
hydatid control campaigns, there have been clear technological improvements made in the diagnosis and treatment
of human and animal cystic echinococcosis, the diagnosis of canine echinococcosis, and the genetic characterisation
of strains and vaccination against Echinococcus granulosus in animals. Incorporation of these new measures could
increase the effi ciency of hydatid control programmes, potentially reducing the time required to achieve eff ective
prevention of disease transmission to as little as 5–10 years. | en |
