Background: There are several scolicidal agents for inactivation of hydatid cyst protoscolices during surgery, but most of them are associated with adverse side effects such as sclerosing cholangitis (SC) and liver necrosis. The present study aimed to evaluate the adverse effects of essential oil to induce SC in animal models.
Materials And Methods: Eighteen rabbits weighting 2000-3500 g were included in three groups for this study.
