[Hepatic hydatidosis in Madagascar: a case of autochthonous origin].
Hydatid disease, due to the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, is described for the second time at liver level, in Madagascar. Even with a low level of endemic animal disease and an uncontrolled population of stray dogs, the human parasitosis is very rare in Madagascar. It is interesting to note that, since a hundred of years, the epidemiological status of this Zoonosis has not really changed in the great island.
