Title

SURVEYING THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HYDATID CYST IN SLAUGHTERED CAMELS IN TEHRAN

Pages

  352-40

Abstract

 Background: Regarding the prevalence of HYDATID CYST in CAMEL and also its known side effects and lack of sufficient studies in previous researches, this study has been conducted with the aim of determining the epidemiology of HYDATID CYST on slaughtered CAMELs in abattoir's Valfajer in Tehran, 2001-2002. Materials and methods: This research is a cross-sectional study that performed on lungs, liver, spleen, heart and kidneys of 216 slaughtered CAMELs in Tehran. These organs were carefully examined for HYDATID CYST. Initial data including the age, sex, cyst location and number of cysts (the intensity of infection) were recorded for each animal. Fertility or non-fertility of HYDATID CYST detected on the basis of presence or absence of protoscolices, and then, the viability of protoscolices was assessed by Eosin Exclusive test. Results: Of 216 inspected carcasses, 16.7%were revealed to be infected with HYDATID CYST. Infection rate had a direct relationship with age, so that the higher infection rates were observed in CAMELs aged 10 years or more (33.3%), however, lower infection rates were found in CAMELs aged 3 years or less (5.3%). Number of cysts ranged 1-31 in infected animals. Number of cysts showed a direct relationship with age. Lungs were the predominant site of the HYDATID CYST. Lung, liver, both lungs and liver and other organs were infected in 5.5, 2.3, 7.9 and 0.9% of the cases, respectively. Fertility, sterile and calcified rates of HYDATID CYSTs were 67.9, 17 and 15.1%, respectively. The viability of protoscolices recovered from fertile cyst in CAMEL was 65.6%, however, the viability rate of HYDATID CYST of liver was considerably higher than that of lung cyst (75.9% vs. 65.6%). Conclusion: Prevalence, fertility rate, percentage of viable protoscolices from fertile cyst and intensity of infection were high in CAMELs that are potential danger for humans' health. More investigations are required to determine the etiologic factors, and also experimental study may help to reduce the problem.
