E. Human infection follows the ingestion of ova. Hydatid disease in humans is caused by the ingestion of ova (eggs) from the Echinococcus tapeworm, which are typically shed in the feces of infected dogs. The disease is characterized by the formation of hydatid cysts in various organs, such as the liver and lungs.
