 There are several different strategies that are currently being used to prevent and control cystic echinococcosis (CE).Most of these various methods try to prevent and control CE by targeting the major risk factors for the disease and the way it is transmitted.For instance, health education programs focused on cystic echinococcosis and its agents, and improved water sanitation attempt to target poor education and poor drinking water sources, which are both risk factors for contracting echinococcosis.
