Hydatid disease is associated with which tapeworm?
a. T. solium
b. Echinococcus granulosus
c. Spirometra mansonoides
d. Echinococcus multilocularis
B
Hydatid disease is associated with E. granulosus. Echinococcus is the smallest of all tapeworms (3 to 9 mm long) with three to five proglottids. Disease symptoms vary with the site and size of the cyst. The presence of one or more cysts (hydatids), which can develop in any tissue, results in echinococcosis (hydatid disease).
