ABSTRACT
Abstract We screened 3,199 people from Shiqu County, Sichuan Province, China, for abdominal echinococcosis (hydatid disease) by portable ultrasound combined with specific serodiagnostic tests. Both cystic (CE) (Echinococcus granulosus infection) and alveolar (AE) (E. multilocularis) were co-endemic in this area at the highest village prevalence values recorded anywhere world: 12.9% infected one or other form (6.8% CE 6.2% AE). Prevalences of both AE significantly higher female than male patients increased age person screened. Pastoral herdsmen risk infection (prevalence 19.0%). Prevalence varied 5 townships 0% to 12.1%, whereas ranged 14.3%. Risk factors associated infections included number owned dogs, frequency contact sources drinking water.
