Overview

Goeze accurately described the echinococcosis cysts and the tapeworm heads for the first time in 1782. Later Batsch gave a detailed description of E. granulosus in 1786. Rudolf Leuckart identified E. multilocularis for the first time in 1863.

Historical Perspective

  • In 1782, Goeze accurately described the cysts and the tapeworm heads for the first time.
  • In 1786, E. granulosus was accurately described by Batsch.
  • During the 1850s, Karl von Siebold showed through a series of experiments that echinococcus cysts do cause adult tapeworms in dogs.
  • In 1863, E. multilocularis was identified by Rudolf Leuckart.
  • Early to mid 1900s, the more distinct features of E. granulosus and E. multilocularis, their life cycles and how they cause disease were described.
  • INn mid 1900s that E. oligarthus and E. vogeli were identified as and shown as being causes of human echinococcosis.[1][2][3]
