Echinococcus granulosis, also called the Hydatid worm, is a cyclophyllid cestode that parasitizes the small intestine of canids as an adult, but which has important intermediate hosts such as livestock and humans, where it causes hydatid disease. In canids, E. granulosis causes a typical tapeworm infection. Adult worms mature in the intestine of the dog (definitive host) and the eggs are released in the foeces. By an accidental ingestion in humans, oncospheres hatch in the duodenum, penetrate the intestine and are carried via the bloodstream to various organs. Hydatid cysts form in organs like liver, lungs and brain.
