The Organism:Zoonotic Species
G1 (sheep strain) E. granulosus s.l. Most frequent cause of disease in humansOther species may be important regionally
05/01/23 9
In endemic areas dogs often have ready access to viscera from slaughtered livestock
as seen in this picture
Transmission of cystic hydatid disease Sheep slaughtering close to free-ranging

DistributionE. multilocularis Northern hemisphere
Eurasia, Europe, North AmericaE. vogeli, E. oligarthrus Central and South AmericaE. shiquicus China

TransmissionIndirect life cycle Definitive hosts ingest cysts in tissues of intermediate hosts Cysts develop into tapeworms Gravid proglottids or eggs shed in feces by definitive host Eggs ingested by intermediate hosts
05/01/23 13
Transmission: E. granulosus s.l.Definitive hosts Canids Felids HyaenidsIntermediate hosts Herbivores Humans
05/01/23 15
Transmission: E. multilocularisDefinitive hosts Wild carnivores (e.g., fox) Domestic dogs and catsIntermediate hosts Small mammals (rodents) Domesticated mammals Humans

Transmission
05/01/23 17
Zoonotic TransmissionHumans act as intermediate hostsIngest tapeworm eggs shed by definitive hosts Contaminated fruits, vegetables,herbs, water
05/01/23 18
Disease in HumansIncubation period Month to years 20 to 30 years documented for cysts that grow slowly and are not in a
critical locationClinical signs Depend on size, number and location of metacestodes
05/01/23 19
Disease in Humans:E. granulosus s.l.
May be asymptomaticUsually one cyst presentCyst location 60 to 70% in liver 20 to 25% in lungsSymptoms dependent on cyst location
05/01/23 20
Disease in Humans:E.multilocularis
Cysts usually found in liverCysts not enclosed within membrane Invade surrounding tissues Disease is progressive and malignantMay be asymptomatic if cyst dies early in
development
05/01/23 21
Disease in Humans: E. vogeli, E. oligarthrus
Cysts usually originate in liver Can spread to nearby organs/tissuesSymptoms dependent on cyst location
05/01/23 22
DiagnosisImaging techniques Ultrasound, radiology,MRI, CTSerologyBiopsyDetection of protoscolices Cyst fluid, sputumPCR
05/01/23 23
TreatmentSurgical removal of cysts May not be possible to remove entire cyst depending on size and locationAnti-parasiticsWait-and-see Small, inactive cystsLiver transplant
05/01/23 24
Disease in AnimalsIncubation period Months to years
20 to 30 years documentedClinical signs Depend on cyst size, number, location Often asymptomatic until cysts invade adjacent tissues/organs
05/01/23 25
Clinical Signs: Definitive HostsUsually asymptomatic Even with heavy parasite burdenDisease rarely occurs Enteritis Diarrhea
05/01/23 26
Clinical Signs: Intermediate HostsE. granulosus s.l. Cysts grow slowly Asymptomatic until surrounding tissues/organs become involved
Livestock typically slaughtered before this occurs Liver and lung most affected
05/01/23 27
Clinical Signs:Intermediate HostsE. multilocularis Cysts most often found in liver Metastatic lesions occur in other organs
Lungs, brain Rodents may die within weeks of infection
Multiple organs affected
05/01/23 28
Clinical Signs: Intermediate HostsE. vogeli, E. oligarthrus Not documented in domesticated animal intermediate hosts Zoo outbreaks
Nutrias Nonhuman primates
05/01/23 29
Post Mortem LesionsNo lesions in definitive hostsIntermediate hosts Cysts grossly apparent
E. granulosus s.l. Fluid-filled Fibrous wall Liver, lungs, other internal organs
E. multilocularis Liver, lungs, CNS Multilocular, semisolid Lobulated
05/01/23 30
Diagnosis: Definitive HostsRoutine fecal testing not appropriate Cannot differentiate from Taenia spp. Tiny proglottids in feces not noticeableELISA Screening for definitive hostsPCR Fecal samplesMorphology
05/01/23 31
Diagnosis: Intermediate HostsUsually discovered at necropsyHistologyAntigen detectionPCRSerology Not generally used in domestic animals
Poor response in usual intermediate hosts
05/01/23 32
TreatmentAnthelmintic drugs PraziquantelSurgery Intermediate hosts Follow with long term daily anti-parasitics
05/01/23 33
Prevention in HumansControl echinococcosis in domestic animals Don’t feed livestock entrails to dogs Don’t allow dogs and cats to hunt Regularly test and/or treat animals allowed outside
05/01/23 34
Prevention in HumansMinimize risk of egg ingestion Wash fruits and vegetables Wash hands frequently Avoid untreated water sources Do not handle wild carnivores or their carcasses Thoroughly cook meat before eating
05/01/23 35
Prevention in HumansWear personal protective equipmentRegular surveillance Laboratory personnel Children exposed to feces of infected animalsNo vaccine
05/01/23 36
Prevention in AnimalsRegular surveillanceTreat infected animals (dogs) Praziquantel Multiple doses requiredVaccination Recombinant
