Alveolar echinococcosis in the canton of Geneva between 2010 and 2021: a descriptive analysis
Alveolar echinococcosis, a rare but severe disease, is endemic in the canton of Geneva. The establishment of mandatory reporting of this disease in Switzerland would allow monitoring of its epidemiological evolution. Primary and secondary prevention measures, currently non-existent, could potentially lower the incidence and severity of the disease.
