Overview
Common risk factors in the development of echinococcosis include exposure to cattle such as cattle, deer, pigs, sheep and feces of dogs, wolves or coyotes.[1]
Risk Factors
People who accidentally swallow the eggs of the Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm are at risk for infection. Humans can be exposed to these eggs in two main ways that involve "hand-to-mouth" transfer or contamination. Risk factors include exposure to:[1]
- Cattle
- Deer
- Feces of dogs, wolves, or coyotes
- Pigs
- Sheep
