Hydatid disease is a zoonosis caused by the dog tapeworm Echinococcus with millions of people-animals infected. After decades of study, effective treatment remains a major challenge. We will use a combination of recently developed techniques to isolate specific genes associated with Echinococcus differentiation. Understanding how these genes are controlled will increase our sparse knowledge of the developmental biology of this important parasite and provide new clues for more effective therapies

包虫病是一种由狗绦虫棘球绦虫引起的人畜共患病，已感染数百万人和动物。经过数十年的研究，有效的治疗仍然是一个重大挑战。我们将结合使用最近开发的技术来分离与棘球绦虫分化相关的特定基因。了解这些基因是如何控制的将增加我们对这种重要寄生虫的发育生物学的了解，并为更有效的治疗提供新线索
