Hydatid disease is a parasite infection of humans and animals. In Australia hydatid disease is caused by a tiny tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus.
Hydatid disease occurs throughout most of the world. In Australia, the disease is most common in the sheep-farming areas of New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, southwest Western Australia and eastern Queensland. It is be lieved to occur in South Australia but since no recent studies have been conducted there, its status is unknown. It has also been found in cattle populations in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, in northern Queensland and near Darwin i n the Northern Territory.
Scientists believe that E. granulosus arrived in Australia soon after European settlement, probably in infected sheep or dogs. Its distribution is determined largely by climate. Its eggs, which sometimes must survive in the outside world for lon g periods, are vulnerable to high temperatures and desiccation, although they can withstand freezing. The disease is therefore most prevalent in areas where the average monthly rainfall is above 25 millimetres for six months of the year.
