Echinococcosis

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 1997
Hydatids, the intermediate stages, or metacestodes, of the tapeworm genus, Echinococcus, present a major immunological problem; they survive, grow and metastasize in immunized hosts which are protected against reinfection and possess effector mechanisms capable of killing the parasite.

Pancreatic echinococcosis [PDF]

Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings, 2019
Echinococcosis (hydatid disease) is caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. It most frequently involves the liver, followed by the lung. Pancreatic echinococcosis is very rare, even in endemic areas, with an incidence of 0.14% to 0.2%. We describe a case of a 34-year-old woman who presented with epigastric pain for 1 month.
