Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The Departmental Ethics Review Board (ERB) at the COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI), Pakistan, under ERB/18/72, approved this research study. Informed written consent was obtained from the adult subjects for surgery. The consent was taken from participants and in case of children the consent was obtained from the parents/guardians of the minors included in this study (minors are considered anyone under the age of 16). The hydatid cysts samples (FFPE tissues) obtained after surgery from the Pathology Department were anonymized and the patients’ names do not appear in this study.
: Not applicable because in this study, parasite specimens/cysts obtained post-surgically were used. Patient information was obtained from medical records following surgery, which was sufficiently anonymized so that patients could not be identified.
: The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
