oa Central African Journal of Medicine - A symposium on hydatidosis

Abstract

In May 1978 a symposium on hydatidosis was held in Sydney, Australia. Ten papers were read at this symposium and covered the wide range of the hydatid problem, including (A). The adult tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus, (B). hydatid cysts in animals, (C). The diagnosis of hydatid disease by laboratory tests, (D). The control of hydatid disease and (E). hydatidosis in Man. The various papers contained a mass of valuable information including a number of original observations, and the most interesting facts have been extracted.
