“…Notably, previous surveys of hydatidosis included very small numbers of animals examined at abattoirs from different localities, such as (41) and ( 21). Hence such figures do not reflect the real indication of the incidence among inspected livestocks.…”

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a parasitic zoonotic disease which is highly endemic in Iraq and has an extensive effect on livestock productivity and human health. The current study focused on slaughtered sheep and cattle in Al-Najaf city abattoir, which infected with hydatid cysts from the period between January 2016 till December 2018. The total sheep examined were 244806, in which 3339 were found to be positive for hydatidosis, while in cattle, the total examined number was 59001, in which 887 were found to be positive for hydatidosis. In current study, the prevalence rate was estimated to be 1.49 % for hydatidosis in sheep, whereas in cattle it was 1.60 %. There were no differences between sheep and cattle rate infections. The highest rate of infection in sheep and cattle was observed in April 2.03% and July 1.89 respectively, while the lowest rate was observed in September 1.27% and November 1.04, respectively. Seasonally, the highest infection rate of hydatid cysts was 1.60 % in spring for sheep and 1.77 % in summer for cattle. The findings of this study demonstrated that the prevalence of hydatid cysts infections is generally lower than those reported from other regions of Iraq, and at the same time, it clearly remains prevalent. Hydatid cysts are common and widely distributed in sheep and cattle and they might play an important role in the life cycle and transmission of this zoonosis in Al-Najaf province.

This study was conducted to evaluate retrospectively(607) patient diagnosed with hydatid cyst disease and treated surgically at the hospital of gastrointestinal and liver disease between 2000-2012 in Baghdad city. cysticEchinococcosis affected more females 359 (59.14%) than males 248(40.85%). A remarkable gender differences showed towards females was observed and the male / female ratio among cystic Echinococcosis cases ≤ 21 and ≥ 70 years old was (29.48%) and (1.64%) respectively. the age of patient ranged (0-<70)years old and the age group(21-30), (31-40), years were the most affected. Housewives had the highest rate of infection (51. 40%) followed by workers in different occupations which showed a significant differences (p<0.001). similarly rural dwellers was also over-respected among the cases (51. 40%) , (48.59% urban).
