In this paper, we present a time-delayed echinococcosis transmission model to explore effective control and prevention strategies. We first give the basic reproduction number R 0 $R_{0}$ . It is shown that if R 0 1 $R_{0}1$ , the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and if R 0 1 $R_{0}1$ , the disease persists. We further show that the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable for a special case. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate our analytic results. We give some sensitivity analysis of some parameters and give some useful comments on controlling the transmission of echinococcosis.
