Human echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus tapeworms. Cystic echinococcosis (hydatidosis) affects approximately 1 million people every year, concentrated in rural areas where humans and livestock are in close contact. During surgical treatment of hydatidsosis, protoscolices are the major cause of hydatidosis recurrence. To prevent this during surgery, hypertonic salt acts as a scolicidal agent to kill the protoscolices that may spread to other tissues.
