Larval stage: Hydatid cyst
are large, roughly spherical, fluidfilled bladders
cyst wall consists of:- outer laminate hyaline wall,
supporting the whole cyst- Inner germinal layer studded with
developing brood capsulesthe protoscolices are formed within the brood capsules,
which may rupture to give off free protoscolices in the fluidfilled cyst
thousands of protoscolices can fill the hydatidHydatid cyst usually grow slowly but steadily (1-5 cm/year)
producing protoscolices and daughter cysts that fill the cystinterior, they are usually well tolerated until their sizebecomes a problem or they rupture

Hydatid sand
a granular material, consisting offree protoscolices, andamorphous materials which isfound in older hydatid cysts due
to rupture of the brood capsule
sometimes aspirated fordiagnostic purposes

- measures 3 to 6 mm long
- Only 3 proglottods: 1 immature, 1 mature and1 gravid proglottids
Scolex- rostellum - armed with 2 circular rows of28-50 large and small hooklets
Mature proglottids- more elongated, and contains fully developed
reproductive organs w/c consist of pyriformtestes, 45-65 in number, and located
anterior to cirrous sac- Bilobed ovary at the posterior portion
- Clubshaped uterus
Gravid proglottids- longer than wide-Uterus at median, gives rise to 12-15 lateraluterine pouches filled with eggs

Egg- spherical shaped, with radially
striated embryophore- Cannot be distinguished from those
of Taenia spp.- This genus compensate their very
minute size by producingthousands of eggs

larva: hydatid (unilocular) cyst

germinal epithelium Grows to the internal cavity of the cyst
appearance Unilocular cyst
Amount of fluid more
- larvae develop into a unilocular cyst which gives rise to unilocular hydatid disease
- characterized as having only one bladder or many completely isolated bladders, eachenclosed in its own well-developed envelope

MOT:Accidental ingestion of tapeworm eggs excreted in thefeces of infected dogsIntimate association with dogsContaminated fingers and food2 seeding from ruptured cyst
incubation period for all species of Echinococcus can bemonths to years or even decades
The disease will vary in their seriousness depending on:- the location of the cyst in the body and how fast the
cyst is growing, and how large it grows
- where in the body the hydatid develops
- how large it grows

Sometimes the infection is asymptomatic- the only evidence of infection being the presence ofcalcified cysts on autopsy after death due to an unrelated
cause
the major pathology is due to the size of the cyst, givingrise to pressure related injury by expanding size of the
hydatid cystcysts can grow to be the size of softball or basketball,
and may contain several smaller "balloons inside themain cyst
Pressure effects can cause local tissue damage andobstruction

Leakage of hydatid fluid synsitizes the patient and eliciteosinophilia
rupture of cyst: trauma, muscular strain, aspiration,coughing or during operation
the hydatid cyst fluid is highly allergenic and cyst rupturemay result in severe allergic manifestations, anaphylactic
shock and rapid death

Diagnosis:Radiographic findings and/or ultrasonography
(demonstate hydatid cyst) combined with a historyresidence in an endemic area, and close association
with dogs are important in the diagnosis(+) serological tests (Indirect HAI, ELISA, CF) are helpfulStool exam charac. Ova & gravid segmentsX-ray, CT scan, Ultrasound
Liver puncture hydatid sandBlood smear eosinophilia

Therapeutic Modalities for all types of Hydatid Disease:treatment of choice: Surgical resectionRecent surgical trend:Percutaneous Aspiration, Injection
of hypertonic saline or other scolocidal fluid and
Reaspiration (PAIR)Drug of choice: Albendazole
- dose: 10mg/kg BW or 400mg 2x/day x 4 weeks- given at least 1 day before surgery/aspiration
Praziquantel active protoscolicidal agent with excellent
result when given in conjunction with AlbendazoleIvermectin injected directly into cysts was found to kill
protoscolices in experimental animal

Prevention & Control:Avoid fondling of infected dogsStrict personal hygieneAvoid eating contaminated foodsDogs should be dewormed periodically with Praziquantel
every 6 wks

Echinococcus multilocularis
Other name: Dog tapeworm, Hydatid wormDisease: Multilocular Echinococcosis
Multilocular / alveolar hydatid disease
recognized as distinct specie from E. granulosusdefinitive hosts: primarily foxes and to a lesser extent dogs,
cats, coyotes and wolves
intermediate host: small rodents, miceMan is an accidental host by the ingestion of eggsmore adaptations for colder climates

Multilocular / Alveolar Hydatid Disease
Adults adult tapeworm is usually non-pathogenic to its canine hosts 1.2 to 3.7 mm longvery similar to E. granulosus, with a maximum length of
approximately 4mm, and consisting of 4-5 proglottids
Larvaelarval growth remains indefinitely in the proliferative stagethe 'cyst' grows invasively by external budding, to proliferate
in any direction, forming a diffuse growth through theinfected organ replacing that organ tissues, resulting ininvasion of the surrounding tissues

limiting membrane thin
germinal epithelium Grows externally, to proliferate in any direction
and act like a neoplasm with local infiltration or
even to metastasize
appearance Alveolar or Multilocular cyst

Multilocular / Alveolar Hydatid Disease
MOT- eating foods contaminated with feces of the hosts- hunters can be infected while handling foxes & wolves
common site: liver next lung and other organGrowth in the vena cava or portal vein may lead to
metastases, usually to the lungs or brain and other body
organsPrognosis is poor and depends on extent of organ
involvement
the multilocular cyst is highly pathogenic due to its fastgrowth rate and invasive nature, in extreme cases
completely replacing liver tissue thus simulatinghepatocellular carcinoma with local pressure effects andallergy

Echinococcus vogeliOther name: Dog tapeworm, Hydatid wormDisease: Polycystic Echinococcosis
(Polycystic hydatid disease)
found in Central and Northern South Americadefinitive hosts: bush dogsIntermediate host: large rodents (pacas and spiny rats)
-

24/39
Adults - up to 5.6 mm long , similar toE. granulosus, but rather longer;non-pathogenic
LarvaeThe germinal membrane of the hydatids proliferates
both inward, in the original cyst, forming septa thatdivide it in many sections and outwards to form newmulti-chambered cysts resulting in multiple vesicles
(polycystic hydatid cyst)
In humans, hydatids are found in the liver, but also thelungs, pleura, pericardium, heart, intercostal muscles &
diaphragm, stomach, omentum and mesenteries

Hymenolepis nanaOther name: Dwarf tapewormDisease: Hymenolepiasis, Dwarf Tapeworm Infectioninfection is more common in children than in adultsDefinitive host: house mouse, humanIntermediate host: grain beetle*Does not require an obligatory intermediate host
has the unusual characteristic of being able to complete itslife-cycle without the aid of the intermediate host
this makes H. nanathe only tapeworm in which an adultwill grow after the definitive host ingests the eggs

Eggthin and smooth outer shellovoidal, hyaline & colorless, 30-47umUsually liberated from the gravid
segments before they become detached
composed of inner layer (embryophore)& outer layer (thin membranous);the shell is provided with bipolar knobs& filaments (4-8) at each pole
These filaments are visible in the spacebetween the embryo and the outer shell
Polar filaments

life cycle:
Adult worm develop following ingestion of the egg by
definitive hosts
eggs hatch in the duodenum, releasing oncospheresand lie in the lymph channels of the villi
oncospheres develops into a cysticercoid, whichattaches to
the small intestine and matures into an adult
gravid proglottids then release and pass out through feces
along with eggs
-

Modes of Transmission:
(1)an oral-anal cycle in which eggs are passed from onehuman to another or recycle externally in a single host
(2) eggs can hatch and infect original host and start cycle over- internal autoinfection, whereby eggs hatch within
the gut and initiate a 2nd generation infection
without ever exiting the host
(3) eggs can be ingested by insects, where it will developinto cysticercoid
- an indirect 2-host cycle involving rodents as primary
definitive hosts and intermediate host (grain beetles)that feed on contaminated rodent droppings

dizziness, anorexia, and various nonspecific symptoms
Diagnosis: Stool exam characteristic eggTreatment:Drug of choice: Praziquantel 25mg/k single oral dose
alternative: Niclosamide daily for 5 days
