Brief description Hydatid disease is a zoonosis caused by the dog tapeworm Echinococcus with millions of people-animals infected. After decades of study, effective treatment remains a major challenge. We will use a combination of recently developed techniques to isolate specific genes associated with Echinococcus differentiation. Understanding how these genes are controlled will increase our sparse knowledge of the developmental biology of this important parasite and provide new clues for more effective therapies
