| Abstract | ||
| Echinococcus granulosous have been recognized as the most important zoonosis and of great economic and public health significance in developing countries. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to examine the prevalence of hydatidosis in camels from EastNorth of Iran. Total of 207 camels slaughtered at Mashhad abattoir were examined for hydatid cysts. Each carcass was inspected and any cyst lesion in any organ was carefully examined. The entire cysts with adjacent tissue were then cut out of organ and collected in plastic bags. These specimens were transported directly to the laboratory for further examination to determine the presence of protoscolex (fertility and/or sterility of the cyst). Hydatid cyst were recovered from 41% (85/207) of camels. The organ distribution was 95% in lung, 27% in liver and 24% in spleen. Most of the cysts 62% were fertile (protoscolex). The prevalence was higher (43%) in males than the females (36%). The results shown the relatively high prevalence of hydatid cyst in slaughtered livestock of camels slaughtered at Mashhad abattoir. Considering, causing great economic losses for farmers and the risk of disease transmission to human the implementing hydatid control programs should be taken very serious. | ||
