hydatidosis is one of the major zoonotic diseases that cause considerable economic losses and public health problems worldwide. the present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of e. granulosus in domestic and wild carnivores and the infection rate of hydatid cyst in slaughtered animals and people in kashan area, central iran. a total of 142 carnivores including 70 stray dogs, 40 jac...

Hydatid disease of bone is rare. It probably represents between 0.5% and 4% of all human hydatid disease and, in about 60% of patients, affects the spine or pelvis. Between 1986 and 1998, we treated 15 cases of bone hydatidosis. Curettage, swabbing with povidone iodine and filling the defect with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) were carried out in ten patients. Three of these had a recurrence aft...

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a major zoonosis in Morocco. Despite national hydatidosis control programme (NHCP) established 2005, CE burden still high nationwide. The aim of this study was to carry out an NHCP stakeholders’ analysis identify weak points and propose improvement strategies. In total, 164 semi-structured interviews were carried with local stakeholder representatives, one workshop...

BACKGROUND Echinococcosis or hydatidosis is a chronic, zoonotic worldwide infection caused by the larval stage of the dog taeniid tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. Vaccination has been considered as one of the ways to prevent of hydatidosis in recent decades. The aim of this study was to construct a pcDNA3.1 eukaryotic expression vector containing the subunit 8-kDa antigen B (Hyd1) of E. granul...

A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2007 to November 2008 to estimate the prevalence of hydatidosis in slaughtered cattle from two abattoirs in Mongu, Western Province, Zambia, using prospective and retrospective data. Out of the 4061 cattle examined during postmortem inspection, 84 (2.1%) were positive for hydatidosis. No cases were detected from Kaoma and Shangombo districts; h...

DESCRIPTION Hydatid disease is an important infestation caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus. The liver is the most frequently involved organ (75%), followed by the lungs (15%) and the remainder of the body (10%).

A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2011 to April 2012 to assess the status of cystic hydatidosis in cattle slaughtered at Gondar Elfora abattoir. Out of the total 400 cattle examined visually and manually (palpation and incision), 112 (28%) were found harboring hydatid cysts. A significantly higher infection was detected in older cattle (P<0.05, P2=12.191) than young. Regarding ...

BACKGROUND Hydatidosis or cystic hydatid disease is one of the most important diseases in human and animals. Identification of strains is important for improvement of control and prevention of disease. The aim of this study was to determine the strains isolated from human and domestic animals in Ilam Province, Iran, using PCR-RFLP method. METHODS Respectively, 30 and 4 animal and human hydati...

Introduction: Hydatid disease caused by the larvae of cestode Echinococcus, occurs worldwide. Although, hydatid can occur at any site, liver (59-75%), lung (27%) and spleen are most commonly affected organs. Clinical suspicion along with radiological findings help in diagnosis hydatid. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) plays an important role for initial diagnosis, while histopathology is ...

Introduction: the aim of the study was to retrospectively evaluate all patients with thoracic hydatid cysts, treated surgically in our department between July 2010 To July 2016. Materials and methods: retrospective analysis was carried out in 350 cases of thoracic hydatidosis, in whom some surgical interventions were carried out at RIMS, Ranchi between 2010 to 2016.There were 204 male patients ...
