==Treatment and Control==

−

+

Control involves treatment of definitive hosts, dogs and cats, with anthelmintics in order to remove adult worms from the host. The treatment of intermediate host pets is not routine and can be dangerous as due to the infiltrative nature of the hydatid cyst. In humans and intermediate hosts surgical removal of the cyst is not advisable due to the infiltrative nature of the cyst and metastatic ability.
