title: Human hydatidosis in Niger.
abstract: Thirty-two cases of hydatidosis were collected in two Nigerian hospitals during a 5-year period; 81% of these had extra-hepatic localizations. Human hydatidosis has been considered as exceptional in West Africa but seems to be an underestimated disease in Niger. Studies in slaughtered animals from Niger show a high prevalence of hydatidosis in camels while no infection was found among sheep.
