Polycystic echinococcosis in Pacas, Amazon region, Peru. 2015

Pedro Mayor, and Laura E Baquedano, and Elisabeth Sanchez, and Javier Aramburu, and Luis A Gomez-Puerta, and Victor J Mamani, and Cesar M Gavidia

In the Peruvian Amazon, paca meat is consumed by humans. To determine human risk for polycystic echinococcosis, we examined wild pacas from 2 villages; 15 (11.7%) of 128 were infected with Echinococcus vogeli tapeworms. High E. vogeli prevalence among pacas indicates potential risk for humans living in E. vogeli-contaminated areas.
