A case of natural hydatidosis in a baboon

J Comp Pathol. 1992 May;106(4):435-8. doi: 10.1016/0021-9975(92)90028-s.

Abstract

Four large and several smaller cysts of Echinococcus granulosus were found in the liver of a baboon submitted for necropsy. Three of the large cysts had an atypical structure and were packed with a semi-solid mass of collapsed daughter cysts, small cysts containing fluid and involuted membranes. This atypical structure has been reported previously though only in baboons.
