Studies On Hydatidosis In Some Farm Animals

The present study was concerned with prevalence, ultrasonographical, immunological and molecular biological differentiation between Echinococcus granulosus isolates (hydatid cysts) among different farm animals including camel, sheep & goat, equine and pigThe occurrence of hydatidosis in 3175 slaughtered animals was 4.4 %. Cystic Echinococcosis Prevalence of camel and equine, which were 11.5% and 11.1% respectively, were higher than those observed in the other animal species. The lowest infection prevalencThe highest fertility of hydatid cyst was in equine with percentage of 75 % while, the lowest fertility was in pig with percentage of 6.25 %. All collected hydatid cysts from buffalo and sheep was sterile. Hydatid cysts in camel were collected from liver
