Abstract:

Echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the larvae of the genus Echinococcus, which is widely prevalent in Qinghai-Tibet plateau of China. Canine is the major infection source of human echinococcosis, and canine infection with Echinococcus spp. has become a heavy burden in Qinghai-Tibet plateau. In this paper, we review the prevalence and impacting factors of canine infection with Echinococcus spp. in Qinghai-Tibet plateau.
