A species of hydatid tapeworm (class CESTODA) in the family Taeniidae, whose adult form infects the DIGESTIVE TRACT of DOGS, other canines, and CATS. The larval form infects SHEEP; PIGS; HORSES; and may infect humans, where it migrates to various organs and forms permanent HYDATID CYSTS. Source: National Library of Medicine, MeSH 2006

Echinococcus granulosus infects dogs and other canines as the definitive host and sheep, cattle, goats, and humans as intermediate hosts. Cystic hydatid disease often affects the liver but other organs may be involved. Source: Regenstrief Institute
