Overview

Effective measures for the primary prevention of echinococcosis include discouraging feeding of raw offal to work dogs, employing basic hygiene practices like thoroughly cooking food and vigorous hand washing before meals and regular "worming" of farm dogs with the praziquantel also helps kill the tapeworm.[1]

Primary Prevention

Effective measures for the primary prevention of echinococcosis include strategies which involve disruption of the parasite's life cycle:

  • Discouraging feeding of raw offal to work dogs is strongly encouraged.
  • Employing basic hygiene practices such as thoroughly cooking food and vigorous hand washing before meals can prevent the eggs entering the human digestive tract.
  • Regular "worming" of farm dogs with the praziquantel also helps kill the tapeworm.
