ABSTRACT
Hydatidosis or hydatid cyst is a prevalent zoonosis all over the world due to larval forms of the tapeworm of the genus Echinococcus. Echinococcus granulosus is the most frequent form of echinococcal infection in humans. The disease generally results from an oral ingestion of the parasite ova eliminated with feces of dogs leading to the emergence of hydatid cysts.Hydatidosis is a health problem that may remain asymptomatic for several years. This disease is endemic in Morocco and is recorded to be a serious problem that requires great caution
