	Echinococcosis -- familydoctor.org
		Echinococcosis (say: "eh-kinno-cock-ko-sus"), also called hydatid disease, is an infection caused by eating food or water that is contaminated with the eggs of the Echinococcus worm.
		Because echinococcosis is rare and hard to find inside the body, your doctor may have to order a blood test.
		Echinococcosis may not produce any symptoms for 10 or 20 years because the cysts grow slowly.

	Echinococcosis in Tibetan populations, Western Sichuan
		Human cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by infection with the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, and alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by infection with the larval stage of E. multilocularis, are 2 of the most pathogenic zoonotic parasitic helminthic infections of humans in the Northern Hemisphere (1).
		Thus, the prevalence of echinococcosis in female patients was 14.7% (244/1,660), and 11.0% (170/1,539) in male patients.
		The overall township prevalence of echinococcosis was 11.1% (range 7.4%-15.1%); 6.2% of patients were diagnosed with AE and 4.9% with CE disease.

	Risk Factors for Alveolar Echinococcosis \| CDC EID
		In spite of these low case numbers, the disease is an important public health problem because of the high frequency of infections in specific geographic clusters (8), the severity of organ damage in cases of infiltrative parasitic growth or hematogenous spread, and the necessity for costly long-term treatment and follow-up (3).
		In Japan, persons with a clinical diagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis or a positive serologic result were more likely than controls to have reared cattle or pigs or to have used well water (11).
		For variables that might influence the occurrence of alveolar echinococcosis, the crude odds ratio (OR), the 95% confidence interval (CI), and the p value were calculated from simple conditional logistic regression (12).

	Rudolf Virchow and the recognition of alveolar Echinococcosis,
		Alveolar echinococcosis, which is caused by the larval stage of the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, is one of the most dangerous parasitic diseases.
		In 1954 and 1955, respectively, it was finally proven that alveolar echinococcosis is caused by the morphologically and biologically distinct species E. multilocularis.
		Most human cases of alveolar echinococcosis are reported in the People's Republic of China, where the disease is a serious emerging public health problem (23) and a [less than or equal to] 15% prevalence of human alveolar echinococcosis has been reported in some areas (24).
