A special Issue in FAWPAR has been dedicated to zoonotic Echinococcus species. It is a compilation of invited papers that spans important aspects from molecular markers of emergence, diagnostics in both definitive and intermediate hosts, treatment of human alveolar echinococcosis, to control strategies in definitive hosts.
Guest Editors: Caroline Frey, Emily Jenkins, Britta Lundström-Stadelmann
