“…This value is almost similar to the prevalence in Hail city, which record 7.06% [1]. While in other parts of Saudi Arabia record a lower rate of 2.60% in Al-Madina city and 1.06% in Riyadh city [6,9]; result in another study indicates a higher rate of infection with Hydatidosis was 69.6% [15].…”

“…In a recent study, the highest rate recorded was in winter and spring [8]. While in another study, the highest prevalence of hydatid cyst was in summer [15]. However, this difference refers to the chance of sheep to contact with the final host acquiring the Metacestode regardless time and place proposed.…”

“…The detected the rate of infection with Echinococcus in sheep about 2.13% [4]. While in north Jeddah, study prevalence between slaughtered animals (91348), including sheep and goats, the highest rate was in sheep at 69.6%, and the most infected organs were the liver [5]. In a study that researches about the epidemiological of the Echinococcus in one year among the animals that slaughtered in Al-Madina Al-Munawwarah.…”

Hydatidosis is one of the most parasitic diseases transmitted from carnivores (dogs) to human, causing deterioration in health and also transmitted to herbivores animals causing a substantial economic loss in the productivity of meat with low quality. In these days there is an increase in gain dogs at home, with its high risk of infection with many parasitic diseases such as Hydatidosis. The present study was conducted to provide a recent view on the current status of Hydatidosis among slaughter sheep in Makkah through periodic visiting to Alkaakia slaughterhouse three times on week for one year from January 2017 to January 2018. Summer revealed the highest prevalence in sheep. Obtained data about the infection were analyzed statistically was done on the sheep slaughtered there. The total infection rate was 8.12% (4284/52783) in sheep, while the most infected organs were liver.In conclusion, the high infectivity rate of slaughtered sheep with hydatid cyst revealed to the low health awareness among people, and there is no examination of dogs from parasitic diseases.

“…In Saudi Arabia, there have been some studies about the extent of hydatid cyst disease and its expansion between the local and imported cattle as well as humans. In Jeddah, Toulah et al [2] reported the infection rate of hydatid cyst disease in internationally imported animals was 0.42%. In addition, they found that the highest prevalence of infection was in cattle representing 0.60%.…”

Hydatid cyst disease is one of the most parasitic diseases transmitted from carnivores animals (such as dogs) to humans and causes a deterioration in the general health. Its transmission to herbivores animals led to a substantial economic loss in the meat productivity and reduced its quality. The increase of acquisition of dogs at homes nowadays led to an increase in the risk of infection with many parasitic diseases such as hydatid cyst disease. The present study was conducted to provide a modern view on the current status of hydatid cyst disease among slaughtered animals in Jeddah through periodic visiting to a slaughter house in North Jeddah. The mice prepared have been infected in the peritoneal membrane with 0.2 ml of hydatid cyst fluid containing ±2000 protoscoleces from fertile cysts obtained from an infected goat's liver which resulted in a 75% infection rate. Mice infected with hydatid fluid from fertile cysts obtained from an infected camel's lungs showed a result of 11.1% infection rate. The cysts appeared in the peritoneal and abdominal cavity.

Prevalence and genotyping of Echinococcus granulosus in sheep in Narok County, Kenya

et al. 2018

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus species (sensu lato, s.l.). In East Africa, several species/strains occur in livestock, wildlife, and humans, but there is limited information on frequencies of infection by different genotypes in the various mammalian hosts. We have obtained data on E. granulosus infection prevalence in sheep sampled from abattoirs in Narok County, southern Kenya. We inspected carcasses for the presence of hydatid cysts in 180 sheep randomly selected in five sub-locations. The overall prevalence was 16.0% (144/900 animals), with the majority of cysts (50.7%) found in the liver, followed by the lungs (36.8%), while infections involving the liver and lungs were detected in 12.5% of the sheep. PCR-RFLP genotyping of the mitochondrial nad-1 gene in all the 343 cysts identified E. granulosus G1-G3 (sensu stricto, s.s.) as the only genotype. The majority of the cysts (62.1%) were fertile, and 35.2% were sterile, while 2.7% were calcified. Considering cyst fertility, 73.02% of lung cysts were fertile compared to 53.4% in liver cysts. Our data extends previous CE studies in livestock and indicates a high level of CE infection of sheep in Narok, with a predominance of E. granulosus s.s., which is highly pathogenic and commonly infects humans. Given the high fertility rates observed in the cysts, there is an urgent need to determine whether there is a significant incidence of human infection in Narok, and initiate "One Health" control measures.
