Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Background Hydatid cyst disease is caused by the parasite Echinococcus and poses significant health concerns worldwide. Due to the lack of early symptoms and limited diagnostic tools, researchers aim to design a more specific and sensitive antigen. The study focuses on developing a recombinant multi‐epitope antigen using two parasite proteins (
