Echinococcosis quística: epidemiología y control en América del Sur

Hydatidosis is a zoonosis produced by a parasite, Echinococcus granulosus, of high prevalence in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Peru and the south of Brazil, producing high losses for cattle raising and for health systems. Man acts as a host for the metacestode and is infected when ingesting fertile egg...
