Hydatidosis


Rapid CDIATM Hydatidosis kits are intended for the detection of Hydatidosis by detecting related antibodies or antigens.


Echinococcosis, also called hydatid disease, hydatidosis, or echinococcal disease, is a parasitic disease of tapeworms of the Echinococcus type. The adult phase parasites the small intestine of cannids (definitive hosts), while the larva affects sheep and cattle (intermediate hosts) and, in a secondary or accidental way, other animals included humans. When the larval phase infects internediate host, hydatidic cysts develop in their internal organs, most often located in the liver, followed by the lung and other organs, such as the brain and bones.
