Abstract

There are some parasitic cysts occur in animals and human , one of the most important is the hydatid cysts . More than thirty years hydatidosis was followed in Mosul , Baghdad , Al- Qa-disyia , Babylon and Najaf . Hydatid Cysts were collected from animals of slaughter houses of these provinces , while Human cases were followed in surgical rooms of main hospitals . Sheep hydatidosis was the highest percent ( 45% )more than other animals , while the lowest was in buffalo 5% .Fertile hydatid cysts and sterile cysts were identified by eosin stain , so the highest percent of fertile cysts were in sheep 74% while the lowest was in cattle 22% , while sterile cysts were highest in cattle .Viability of theprotoscolices were examined by eosin stain .Beside hydatid cysts two other cysts were recorded depend on morphologic and pathologic Characterizations , therefore hydatid cyst of Echinococcusgranulosus was the highest percent , but there are other cysts were diagnosed as Cysticercustenuicollis( Larval stage of Taeniahydatigena ) . Coenuruscerebralis(Larval stage of Multicepsmulticeps ).
