Cysticercus ovis, the intermediate stage of a canine tapeworm, Taenia ovis, produces cystic lesions in the skeletal and cardiac muscle of sheep which, if numerous, will result in the condemnation of an entire carcass. This study was carried out between March 2013 and March 2014 to estimate the prevalence of Taenia ovis cysticercosis in sheep slaughtered at the Kermanshah municipal abattoir, in western Iran. Of 69,198 sheep examined, 833 (1.27 %) were infected with cysticerci of Taenia ovis. The prevalence of C. ovis was significantly higher in males than females (P \ 0.05). Seasonal analysis revealed significantly higher prevalence in spring (1.8 %) than other seasons (P \ 0.005). The heart muscles (29.7 %), diaphragm (18.8 %), masseter muscles (18.2 %) and tongue (15.5 %) were the main predilection sites of the cysts. The cysts of ovine cysticercosis were also identified on the triceps, intercostal muscles, thigh muscles, intestinal mucosa, liver and Spleen. This parasite caused extensive damage resulting in infiltrative, degenerative changes, necrosis and exudation mainly in the vicinity of cysts. The results indicate that the prevalence of C. ovis in this area is high. Therefore improving the standard of disease prevention and control on farms is necessary.

This study was conducted to investigate the occurrence of Cysticercus bovis in cattle slaughtered at the Ibi slaughter house between January 2010 and December, 2012 using systematic veterinary inspection of carcasses. A total of 6007 carcasses were examined during the period of study with an overall prevalence of 4.8% (288/6007). Carcasses from male and female cattle represented 1.5% (89/6007) and 3.3% (199/6007) of the overall prevalence. There was a highly significant statistical difference between the male and female prevalence of bovine cysticercosis observed (P= 0.0001). The years 2010, 2011 and 2012 recorded prevalence rates of 1.5% (87/6007), 1.6% (98/6007) and 1.8% (105/6007) respectively which was highly statistically significant (P<0.00001). Cattle between the age groups 1-3, >3-6 and >6 recorded prevalence rates of 0.53% (32/6007), 1.82% (109/6007) and 2.45% (147/6007) respectively. Prevalence of bovine cysticercosis in relation to management practices were 3.85% (231/6007) and 0.95% (57/6007) for nomadic and sedentary practices respectively. This difference was statistically insignificant (P >0.05). The monthly distribution of Cysticercus bovis among carcasses was highest 0.62% (37/6007) in July, followed by 0.6% (36/6007) in September and the lowest prevalence of 0.21% (13/6007) was observed in January. This was highly statistically significant (P<0.00001). The result of this study have shown the existence of Cysticercus bovis in beef carcasses processed at the Ibi slaughter house which is a possible public health risk in the study area.

“…More than 70% of the bovine cysticercosis studies were conducted in the western and northern parts of Iran. Garedaghi et al () examined various organs of 500 cattle slaughtered at Meshkinshahr Abattoir, Ardabil Province, north‐western Iran, and established that samples from 15 (3%) cattle were infected with T. saginata cysticercosis. The authors identified the tongue, masseter, cardiac, triceps and thigh muscles as the main predilection sites of the cysts.…”

“…Cysticercosis refers to a parasitic tissue infection caused by larval cysts of Taenia spp. in humans and animals (Eom, Jeon, & Rim, ; Garedaghi, Saber, & Khosroshahi, ; Qingling et al, ; Satoskar, Simon, Hotez, & Tsuji, ). Though it is responsible for bovine cysticercosis in cattle, the larval stage of T. saginata does not cause cysticercosis in humans.…”

Background The aim of this review was to establish the current epidemiology of taeniosis, cysticercosis and trichinellosis among humans and animals in Iran by carrying out a comprehensive assessment of published articles reporting on these foodborne zoonotic diseases across the country. Methods The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guideline was used in the search for relevant published articles reporting on cysticercosis, taeniosis and trichinellosis in Iran using a number of appropriate key words. The search was conducted through PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, SpringerLink, SCOPUS, WHOLIS, FAO and CDC. Published scientific articles including journals, books and book chapters reporting on cysticercosis, taeniosis and trichinellosis in Iran for the period between 1967 and 2018 were selected. Results A total of 37 articles met the search criteria and were incorporated in this review. Of these, 10 (27%) reported on human taeniosis, 15 (40.5%) on cysticercosis (10 on Taenia saginata and five on Taenia spp. cysticercosis) and 12 (32.5%) on trichinellosis. T. saginata was implicated in all human taeniosis cases. All Taenia spp. cysticercosis cases were reported among domesticated pigs and wild animals. A case of neurocysticercosis was reported in a male patient at Shohada Hospital in Tehran. Eleven (91.7%) of the 12 studies reported on trichinellosis among wild animals, while one (8.3%) study detected anti‐Trichinella IgG in 8 (2.2%) of the 364 at‐risk human beings tested. Nevertheless, most of these studies were carried out in northern Iran. Conclusion This review found T. saginata to be the most prevalent and of greater economic and public health significance in Iran. However, T. solium and Trichinella spp. were of little significance to human health. More studies should focus on other regions besides northern Iran.
