Echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease mainly prevalent in the western region of China, which seriously endangers the health and life safety of human and animals. It is one of the important reasons for the poverty and return of farmers and herdsmen in the western region due to diseases, and also causes serious losses to animal husbandry production. At present, the number of threatened and patients with echinococcosis in China ranks first in the world.
Over the years, China has attached great importance to the prevention and control of echinococcosis and done a lot of work. Since 2015, under the personal care of Chairman Yu Zhengsheng of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, another climax of echinococcosis prevention and control has been set off. The National Medium and Long-term Animal Disease Prevention and Control Plan (2012-2020) )) lists echinococcosis as a priority for the prevention and control of animal diseases. In 2016, 14 ministries and commissions including the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Public Security also jointly issued the ''Notice on Printing and Distributing the National Hydatid Disease and Other Key Parasitic Disease Prevention and Control Plan (2016-2020))), which once again clarified The goal of prevention and control of echinococcosis. The convening of this meeting is the implementation of the national prevention and control plan.

As the main technical means for the prevention and control of echinococcosis, praziquantel chewable tablets (Eprek), a special drug for dog deworming, and genetic engineering subunit vaccine for sheep echinococcosis (echinococcosis), a special vaccine for sheep immunization, are exclusively produced by Beijing Zhongnong Huawei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Aolong Biological Products Co., Ltd. respectively. The drug and vaccine provide a strong guarantee for the effective implementation of the prevention and control strategy of "dog deworming and sheep immunity.
