Overview
Goeze accurately described the echinococcosis cysts and the tapeworm heads for the first time in 1782. Later, Batsch gave a detailed description of E. granulosus in 1786. Rudolf Leuckart identified E. multilocularis for the first time in 1863.[1]
Historical Perspective
- In 1782, Goeze accurately described the cysts and the tapeworm heads for the first time.
- In 1786, Batsch gave a detailed description of E. granulosus.
- In 1850, Karl von Siebold conducted a series of experiments that demonstrated echinococcus cysts causing adult tapeworms in dogs.
- In 1863, E. multilocularis was identified by Rudolf Leuckart.
- In the early 1900s, the distinctive features of E. granulosus and E. multilocularisand their life cycles were described.
- In the mid-1900s, E. oligarthus and E. vogeli were identified and shown as being causes of human echinococcosis.[2][3]
