The incidence of human hydatidosis in South Brazil was evaluated in the areas of intensive ovine breeding. A total of 325 persons from two counties of an endemic area were evaluated by serological tests. Two positive cases (1.6%) were found in the county of Santana do Livramento and also two cases (1%) in the county of Bagé. The percentage of persons with antibodies against the hydatic cyst is high and higher than official statistics.
