[Hepatic hydatidosis in Madagascar: a case of autochthonous origin]. / Hydatidose hépatique à Madagascar: a propos d'un cas d'origine autochtone.

Hydatid disease, due to the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, is described for the second time at liver level, in Madagascar. Even with a low level of endemic animal disease and an uncontrolled population of stray dogs, the human parasitosis is very rare in Madagascar. It is interesting to note that, since a hundred of years, the epidemiological status of this Zoonosis has not really changed in the great island.
