Abstract:

Hydatidosis is a serious zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus larvae within the human body. The disease distributes all over the world except the Antarctica region, significantly affecting the development of animal husbandry and impairing human health. As one of the therapies for human hydatidosis, drug treatment shows promising clinical efficacy. Development on drug treatments has been made due to the accumulating research and treatment experience. This paper reviews the research progress on the treatment of the hydatidosis with some western medicine and Chinese traditional medicine.
