General Information of Disease (ID: DIS8G3V7)

• Disease Name: Echinococcosis
• Synonyms: echinococcus disease; echinococciasis; hepatic echinococcosis; echinococcal disease; hydatid disease; hydatidosis; pulmonary echinococcosis; echinococcosis, unspecified, of liver; echinococcosis of liver; echinococcosis; liver echinococcus; Echinococcus caused disease or disorder; Echinococcus infectious disease; Echinococcus disease or disorder
• Definition: A parasitic infection caused by tapeworm larvae of Echinococcus. It affects livestock and humans. It is characterized by the formation of hydatid cysts mainly in the liver, lungs, spleen, and kidneys. Rupture of the cysts may lead to shock.
