hydatid cysts?

Hi folks,

does anyone know if (a) we get hydatid cysts in the UK (Echinococcus); and (b) whether they infect deer.

Thanks.
 
Mungo, a new comer to this site is a very experienced and knowledgable vet caled Jimmy Simpson, whom I believe lives in the Scottish border area, and he has a particular interest in this field, he Iam sure will put us right in due course, once he reads this thread
 
Thanks folks.

It's been cleared up - it turns out that what a friend thought were hydatid cysts in a bunny were actually Taenia serialis.

I just freaked out slightly when he first told me he'd found hydatids, because it got me worried they'd find there way into the deer on that farm.
