Abstract excerpt
Biology and strain variation in the causative agent of hydatid disease is reviewed with emphasis on developmental and genetic aspects. In vitro cultivation experiments have made a significant contribution to current knowledge of the developmental plasticity of Echinococcus. However, the mechanisms which regulate and determine developmental strategies in the parasite, as well as the characteristics, source and...
