“…The ndings of the scienti c study were comparable to the prevalence reported by [27] 20% in Debre Makos, 22.4% in Jimma [31], 22.6% in Konso [32], and they were relatively similar ndings of bovine Hydatidosis have also been reported in neighboring countries, Morocco and Kenya, where the prevalence was reported to be 23% [33] and 19.4% [34]. However, [19] was found that a prior report at Nekemte Municipal Abattoir (17.34%) was lower than current study. Furthermore, a lower prevalence of bovine Hydatidosis was observed throughout the country, with 11.26% in Mizan Teppi [35], 11.6% in Mekelle by [36], and 16% in Wolaita Sodo by [37].…”

Across-sectional study was performed at the Nekemte municipal abattoir, Western Ethiopia from October 2016 to August 2017 with the aims of finding to determine the prevalence of bovine hydatid cyst, assess the related risk factors and evaluate organ level of distributions of the cysts.. An ante mortem and postmortem examination was performed as usual on all 220 chosen slaughtered cattle. The organs of systemically selected cattle were evaluated by visual inspection and palpation. Of the total number inspected 44 (20%) had one or more hydatid cysts in one or more of their organs harbored hydatid cysts. Both age and sex of the cattle were significantly associated with the prevalence of bovine hydatidosis (X2=5.928: P=0.015 and X2=4.086: P=0.043, respectively) among the risk factors evaluated. 44(20.%) of the 220 animals evaluated were positive for hydatidosis. In terms of organ distribution, the liver accounted for 27(61.4%), the lung for 16 (36.3%), and the spleen for 1(2.3%).34(55.8%) of the 62 cysts counted and characterized were found in the liver, 27(53.6%) in the lung, and 1(2.3%) in the spleen.22 (35.5%) of the 62 cysts collected were calcified, and 31 (50%) were found to be fertile. Of 7(22.6%) of the 31 fertile cysts were discovered in the liver,23(74.2%) in the lung, and 1(2.3%) in the spleen. Hydatidosis is still one of the most critical diseases that need to be given careful consideration for prevention and control measures in the East Wollega zone, even with the moderate level of infection currently detected. This is because there appears to be a socioeconomic environment that is conducive for the disease. Therefore, the installation of regulated, well-equipped abattoirs, public awareness campaigns, and stray dog control are crucial.

“…The formula proposed by [18] was used to determine the total number of animals needed for the investigation. To calculate the sample size with a 95% con dence interval (CI) and 5% required absolute precision, the study uses 17.34% predicted prevalence [19].…”

Hydatidosis (cystic echinococcosis) is one of the major serious parasite infectious diseases that cause poor weight gain and organ condemnation, which contributes to Ethiopia’s low cattle industry production. A cross‐sectional study was performed at the Nekemte Municipal Abattoir, Western Ethiopia, from October 2020 to August 2021 with the aim of determining the prevalence of bovine hydatid cysts, assessing the related risk factors, and evaluating the organ level of distributions of the cysts. An antemortem examination and postmortem examination were performed as usual on all 220 chosen slaughtered cattle. We evaluated the organs of systemically selected cattle through visual inspection and palpation. Of the total number inspected, 44 (20%) had one or more hydatid cysts in one or more of their organs. Both age and sex of the cattle were significantly associated with the prevalence of bovine hydatidosis (X2 = 5.928; p = 0.015; and X2 = 4.086; p = 0.043, respectively) among the risk factors evaluated. 44 (20%) of the 220 animals evaluated were positive for hydatidosis. In terms of organ distribution, the liver accounted for 27 (61.4%), the lung for 16 (36.3%), and the spleen for 1 (2.3%). 34 (55.8%) of the 62 cysts counted and characterized were found in the liver, 27 (53.6%) in the lung, and 1 (2.3%) in the spleen. 22 (35.5%) of the 62 cysts collected were calcified, and 31 (50%) were found to be fertile. Of the 31 fertile cysts discovered, 7 (22.6%) were found in the liver, 23 (74.2%) in the lungs, and 1 (2.3%) in the spleen. Hydatidosis is still one of the most critical diseases that need careful consideration for prevention and control measures in the East Welega Zone, even with the moderate level of infection currently detected. This is because there appears to be a socioeconomic environment that is conducive to the disease. Therefore, the installation of regulated, well‐equipped abattoirs, public awareness campaigns, and stray dog control are crucial.

Background: Hydatid disease is a zoonotic disease caused by the intermediate stage of dog tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus.Objectives: The study investigated the prevalence of hydatid cysts and the risk factors in cattle slaughtered at the Bishoftu municipal abattoir. It also analyzed the economic loss and community’s awareness of this matter.Animals: 480 cattle brought for slaughtering were included in the study.Methods: A cross‐sectional study was conducted from December 2022 to April 2023 in Bishoftu municipal abattoir involving antemortem examination of cattle and postmortem hydatid cyst investigation, assessment of associated economic loss, and community awareness survey. Animals were selected systematically and cysts were investigated using standard meat inspection procedures.Results: 10.4% of the slaughtered cattle were found positive for hydatid cysts, with no statistically significant association with the considered risk factors. From 85 collected cysts, the lungs accounted for 55.3%, the liver for 29.4%, and the remaining 15.3% were from the spleen, kidney, and heart. About 47.1% of the cysts were fertile and 52.9% were infertile, of which, 37.5% were nonviable. In a survey of 100 individuals, 33.0% were unaware of hydatid disease, and 61.0% were unaware that the disease is zoonotic. Annual economic loss due to the case was estimated at 5,444,564.4 ($97,224.4).Conclusion: This study identified hydatid disease as a significant issue in cattle in Bishoftu, indicating the need for preventative and control measurements. Strategies such as deworming, controlling street dogs, establishing standardized abattoirs, and raising public awareness should be applied to alleviate the problem in Bishoftu and nationwide.
