| Definition |
An parasitic infection transmitted through ingestion of eggs passed in the feces of Canines and Felids that have fed upon infected rodents. The disease, found throughout the Northern Hemisphere, is recorded from Europe, as well as, Asia, and, North America. In Europe, Hydatidosis is transmitted by the ingestion of eggs passed in the feces of infected animals. Fecally soiled animal hair and environmental fomites can also serve as vehicles of infection. Human infections occur directly with hand to mouth transfer of the eggs or indirectly through contaminated food.

| Context |
Existing eradication and disease control programmes, such as those for tuberculosis and brucellosis, should be continued and where possible re-enforced; in particular, in those Member States whose status with regard to these diseases remains problematic. Particular attention should be devoted to the control of hydatidosis and Brucella militensis in Mediterranean regions.
