“…Mast cells were observed using toluidine blue as a specific stain, and our result indicated that the number of mast cells was high in mice liver tissue. This result agreed with (Beigh et al, 2018b), who documented the mast cells in sheep liver tissue. According to our data, the inflammatory cells reacted clearly in experimentally infected mice.…”

C ystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic infection caused by the dog tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus metacestodes. The World Health Organization listed it as one of the twenty neglected tropical diseases (WHO, 2010). It is a significant helminthic disease, representing worldwide public health and socioeconomic concern (Wen et al., 2019). The life cycle of Echinococcus involves a defin-itive host (usually dogs and other carnivores) and an intermediate host (such as sheep, goats, or cattle). Humans act as accidental intermediate hosts since they acquire the infection like other intermediate hosts; however, they are not involved in transmitting the parasite to the definitive host (Shnawa et al., 2022a). The liver is the organ that is most frequently impacted by hydatid cysts (50-70%), followed by the lungs (25%), spleen, kidneys, heart, bones, CNS, viscera, and other organs (Kammerer and Schantz, 1993,

“…Especially in the 14-18th day of cyst formation. While it was not yet present until today, it begins to appear as a thin, transparent layer in the next process (Diaz et al, 2011;Beigh et al, 2017b). In our study, it was also noted that the laminar layer was stained quite well in MT staining.…”

Hydatid cyst or Cystic Echinococcosis continues to be an important problem in terms of public health as well as animal health in regions with low socio-cultural level where preventive medicine cannot be fully performed. In this study, it is aimed to make an evaluation about the situation of the cattle slaughtered in the region by examining the lungs and livers of the cattle slaughtered in a private abottoir in Eskişehir in terms of hydatid cyst. For this purpose, 150 cattle slaughtering was observed and tissue samples were taken from 36 lungs and 21 livers due to the suspicious cyst structure in the macroscopic examinations. They were fixed in 10% buffered formalin solution for histopathology. After routine histopathology process, 5 micron sections were taken from paraffin blocks. Each section was stained according to the procedure with HE, MT and PAS stains, respectively. At the end of the research, hydatid cyst was determined in 26 of 150 cattle (17.33 %). At the organ level; The numbers of hydatid cyst seen in the lung is 22 (14.67%), in the liver is 10 (6.67%) and 6 (4%) both in the lung and liver. In microscopic examinations, protoscolex was also observed in 18.18% of hydatid cysts located in the lung and 20% of cysts located in the liver. As a result, 17.33% hydatid cyst was determined in the cattle slaughtered in slaughterhouse in Eskişehir. It is concluded the disease should be considered for public health in this region in terms of its zoonotic character.

“…Infection of human and other intermediate hosts (mainly livestock) occurs accidentally by ingestion of infective eggs from soil, water and vegetables which develop into a larval stage in internal organs ( Tamarozzi et al, 2020 ). A cyst of E. granulosus comprises of two parasite-derived layers; an inner nucleated germinal layer and an outer acellular laminated layer which is then surrounded by a host-produced fibrous capsule ( Beigh et al, 2018 ). CE mainly affect the liver (50–77%) and lungs (15–47%) of the intermediate hosts ( Botezatu et al, 2018 ; Torabi et al, 2021 ).…”
