What is Echinococcosis: Causes, Life Cycle, and Treatment about?

Echinococcosis, or hydatid disease, is a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus tapeworms, primarily affecting livestock and humans as accidental hosts. The two main forms in humans are Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) and Alveolar Echinococcosis (AE), with distinct life cycles, pathologies, and clinical manifestations. In Kenya, CE is endemic in pastoral communities, necessitating comprehensive prevention and control strategies to address its public health impact.
