Human<unk>  (hydatidosis or hydatid disease) is caused by the larval stages of cestodes (tapeworms) of the genus Echinococcus. Echinococcus granulosus causes cystic<unk>  (CE), the form most frequently encountered; E. multilocularis causes alveolar<unk>  (AE); E. vogeli causes polycystic<unk> ; and E. oligarthrus is an extremely rare cause of human<unk> . Echinococcus eggs contain an embryo that is called an oncosphere or hexcanth. From the embryo released from an egg develops a hydatid cyst, which is able to survive within organs for years. Echinococcus adult worms develop from protoscolices and are typically 6mm or less in length and have a scolex, neck and typically three proglottids.
