Hydatid disease refers to human infection by the immature (larval) form of tapeworm, Echinococcus

Echinococcus is ingested by a human through contact with an infected animal that contains eggs. These eggs mature in the small intestine of a human and lay eggs that migrate throughout the circulatory system. After this migration, these eggs forms cysts in major organs such as the liver, lung, or brains.
