Summary
This publication presents experiences on eradicating and controlling hydatidosis, offers perspectives on eradication, examines advanced technology in control methods, and looks at the hydatidosis panorama in Latin America. The book gathers the contributions of distinguished field scientists with experience in control and eradication programs, as well as surveillance activities and the preparation of plans of action for the eradication of the disease in various situations. The methods included can be tailored to local conditions.
This publication should help political and technical authorities in countries where hydatid disease remains a public health problem, both in terms of decision making and for organizing programs directed toward the elimination of this zoonosis.
