Meaning of "echinococcus" in English

Echinococcus is a genus of parasitic tapeworms belonging to the family Taeniidae. These tiny worms are known for their ability to cause echinococcosis, a serious disease that affects various organs in animals and humans. Echinococcus primarily inhabits the intestines of carnivorous animals, such as dogs and wolves, and the eggs are spread through their feces. When these eggs are ingested by intermediate hosts, such as sheep or humans, they develop into larvae, forming cysts in organs like the liver and lungs, leading to potential health complications.

Echinococcus est un genre de vers parasites appartenant à la famille des Taeniidae. Ces minuscules vers sont connus pour causer l'échinococcose, une maladie grave qui affecte divers organes chez les animaux et les humains. L’Echinococcus habite principalement les intestins des animaux carnivores, tels que les chiens et les loups, et les œufs sont disséminés par leurs excréments. Lorsqu'ils sont ingérés par des hôtes intermédiaires, tels que les moutons ou les humains, ils se transforment en larves, formant des kystes dans des organes comme le foie et les poumons, entraînant des complications de santé potentielles.
