In a groundbreaking development that could redefine the landscape of antiparasitic treatments, researchers have unveiled the first evidence suggesting that a full-spectrum extract from Cannabis sativa exhibits significant efficacy against the parasitic tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto. This particular species is responsible for cystic echinococcosis, commonly known as hydatid disease, a serious zoonotic condition that poses grave public health challenges worldwide.
