Geographical Detector-based influence factors analysis for Echinococcosis prevalence in Tibet, China.
Echinococcosis, caused by genus Echinococcus, is the most pathogenic zoonotic parasitic disease in the world. In Tibet of the People's Republic of China, echinococcosis refers principally to two types of severe zoonosis, cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE), which place a...

Echinococcosis, caused by genus Echinococcus, is the most pathogenic zoonotic parasitic disease in the world.
