| Abstract Hydatid cyst is the importance of zoonotic diseases because it is related to humans and community health. This study aimed to determine the frequency of two parasitic infections in the lungs of livestock in the modern slaughterhouse of Mazandaran province. This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 510802 livestock in 2018 and 501108 livestock in 2019 including different species of cattle, sheep, and goat. The lungs recorded was done by examining using macroscopy, palpation, and incision methods. The frequency of hydatidosis infection observed in the lungs of sheep, cattle, and goats in 2018 are 14.77%, 5.43%, and 4.02%, respectively. In 2019, it was 17.03%, 18.6%, and 5.38%, respectively. Therefore, the frequency of hydatid cyst and Cysticercus tenuicollis were significantly higher in the lung of sheep and cattle, respectively (p < 0.05). The highest frequencies of parasitic infections in the lung were recorded in the spring and then in the summer of the two studied years. Due to the results of this study, the rate of hydatid cyst is high, which due to the zoonotic nature of this parasite and the losses caused by the condemnation of infected parts imposes high costs on society. Therefore, preventive anti-parasitic measures such as the use of anti-parasitic drugs twice a year (early autumn and early spring) should be taken in the livestock of this province. | ||
