Prevention

Regular and accentuated treatment of stray dogs is necessary. However, regular treatment of owned dogs with Praziquantel should be an obligation in highly endemic areas, as treatment of dogs remains the most effective measure of prevention [7].

Vaccination of dogs with two recombinant proteins, EgA31 isolated from the adult worm and oncosphere and EgTrop isolated from protoscolex, is a promis­ing approach to limiting the development of the E. granulosus worm in the dog’s intestine [33].
