===Classification=== The most common form found in humans is cystic echinococcosis (also known as unilocular echinococcosis), which is caused by ''[[Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato]]''. The second most common form is [[alveolar hydatid disease|alveolar echinococcosis]] (also known as alveolar colloid of the liver, alveolar hydatid disease, alveolococcosis, multilocular echinococcosis, "small fox tapeworm"), which is caused by ''[[Echinococcus multilocularis]]'' and the third is polycystic echinococcosis (also known as human polycystic hydatid disease, neotropical echinococcosis), which is caused by ''[[Echinococcus vogeli]]'' and very rarely, ''[[Echinococcus oligarthrus]]''. Alveolar and polycystic echinococcosis are rarely diagnosed in humans and are not as widespread as cystic echinococcosis, but polycystic echinococcosis is relatively new on the medical scene and is often left out of conversations dealing with echinococcosis, and alveolar echinococcosis is a serious disease that has not only a significantly high fatality rate, but the potential to become an emerging disease in many countries.{{cn|date=May 2021}}
