Mr Rayon Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) What techniques are used to assist the host to survive or resist the disease? If I were to say by surgical removal of the cysts in the body, would that be sufficient? I'm not sure how else the host would resist this disease...By the way, hydatids is caused by echinoccoccus granulosus (a taperworm). Edited June 21, 2009 by Mokele Removing obnoxious text.

CharonY Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 From a quick glimpse from abstracts (e.g. Ciurea et al. Acta Neurochir (Wien). 2006 Apr;148(4):421-6. Epub 2005 Dec 30) It appears that (once cysts have formed) the removal of the cysts is supplemented with vermicides. But even then it appears that there is a rather high chance of the emergence of new cysts (25% in that study). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
