Order Tapeworm (Echinococcus) IgG Antibody TestThe Tapeworm (Echinococcus) IgG Antibody Test is a blood test used to detect antibodies the immune system produces in response to Echinococcus parasites.

About Tapeworm (Echinococcus) IgG Antibody Test in Beaverton
Echinococcus is a genus of tapeworms that can infect humans after accidental ingestion of parasite eggs.
Echinococcus tapeworms are small parasitic worms whose eggs can be shed in the feces of infected animals, particularly dogs and other canids. Humans can become infected by ingesting eggs from contaminated soil, water, or food, or through close contact with an infected animal.
After ingestion, the eggs hatch in the intestine and the larvae travel through the bloodstream, most often forming cysts in the liver or lungs. This condition is called echinococcosis, and it can remain silent for years before symptoms appear.
The IgG antibody test looks for the immune system's specific response to Echinococcus. Because antibody production can take time and may persist after infection, results are interpreted alongside clinical findings, imaging studies, and other laboratory tests by a healthcare provider.
