A deterministic model to compare various control strategies for parasites having two hosts is presented. When applied to Echinococcus granulosus, Taenia hydatigena and T. ovis, the model shows that maximum progress would be achieved when both the difinitive and the intermediate host are treated simultaneously. This type of model may prove of value in studies on the control of other towhost parasites.
