Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Hydatid cysts, the larvae of the parasite Echinococcus granulosus, may lodge in any organ of intermediate hosts, namely, man and sheep. This study is representative of the necessity of more attention about the prevention and controlling of this disease in animals in order to decrease economical damages and possibility of transferring of this disease from animal to man.This study is a kind of descriptive study in which we have studied the infection conditions of the slaughtered animals in Paveh city, Kermanshah (West Iran) during 2011-2013. Lungs ands livers were inspected in routine meat inspection procedures for the presence and number of hydatid cyst. Prevalence of hydatid cyst was calculated as the number of cattle or sheep and goat found to be infected, expressed as a percentage of the total number of cattle slaughtered. The 17190 sheep or goats and 2158 cattle were study the slaughterhouse of Paveh city, Kermanshah provience, Iran, from 2011 to 2013. Of all sheep or goats, 187 cases (1.08%) had hydatid cysts and of all cattle, 42(1.92%) had hydatid cycts. In sheep and goats, overall 177 cases (94.65%) had infected liver and 10(5.34%) had infected lung. In cattle, 41 cases (1.29%) had infected liver and one case (0.04%) had infected lung. The results indicate that hydatid cysts have less prevalane in Kermanshah (Western Iran) than other areas. Cattle have more infection than sheep and goats to hydatid cysts and in more studies; liver has more infecttion than lung to this parasite. Keywords: Hydatic Cyst, Liver, Lung, Cattle
