Hydatid complement test

The pathogen is Echinococcus. Its larva, Echinococcus, can be parasitic on the lungs, livers, and abdominal cavity of humans and other artiodactyls (such as sheep, cattle, pigs, etc.), causing hydatid disease. Cason intradermal test is commonly used for diagnosis. Subcutaneous test, indirect hemagglutination inhibition test, complement binding test, ELISA and other methods can also be used for diagnosis.
