摘要: Dear Editor, Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by Echinococcus granulosus in larval stage, is considered as one of the most dangerous parasitic zoonosis in the world.The obligate 2-host parasitic cycle of Echinococcus granulosus is predominantly synanthropic.Dogs are the usual definitive hosts,and lots of mammalian species can be intermediate hosts, including domestic livestock and human[1-2].In the Tibetan plateau, China, the population is mainly Tibetans primarily engaged in livestock husbandry and CE is therefore a health problem for both people and animal in Tibetan communities.The reported infection rate of Echinococcus granulosus in slaughtered yak in slaughterhouses is usually very high, being about 50% or higher as reported, and the liver and lungs are the main affected organs[3-4].
