Abstract:

The research field of echinococcosis involves nearly disciplines, and thus it is of vital importance to use standard terminology in different specialist fields. To standardize the related terminology, the World Association of Echinococcosis has launched a Formal Consensus process on terminology to ensure both language refinement and scientific rigorousness. The international consensus on terminology to be used in the field of echinococcosis was finally published in Parasite in 2020. International experts from different countries and regions in various fields of echinococcosis participated in the drafting of the consensus. As a reference center of the World Health Organization Echinococcosis Prevention and Management in China and host institution of Chinese Medical Doctor Association Surgery Branch Specialized Committee for Echinococcosis, we participated in the drafting process of the international consensus, and herein share the related Chinese terminology in clinical practice of echinococcosis with domestic experts. The related terminology covers all aspects of clinical practice for echinococcosis and represents the first successful attempt for standardization of science and medical terminology for parasitic diseases, especially for echinococcosis.

Key words: Echinococcosis, Clinical, Expert consensus, Terminology
