Background: Hydatidosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus is still an important public health and economic problem in many regions of the world. The aim of this survey was to evaluate the current status of hydatid cyst infection in slaughtered animals from Isfahan province.
Materials and Methods: The survey was carried out on 4062 sheep, goat and cattle slaughtered in different slaughterhouse, including Fasaran, Khomeinishahr and Najafabad of Isfahan province from February to August 2013. The post mortem inspection of carcass and offal was carried out to recognize the disease, determination of infected organs (liver and lung) and the kind of cysts. Then, the presence or absences of protoscoleces were evaluated using an optical microscope.
Results: Of 4062 slaughtered animals, hydatid cyst was found in 141 cases (3.47%). By microscopically examination, 78% of cysts were shown to be fertile. Among three slaughterhouse of this survey, Fasaran (4.3%) and Najafabad (2.16%) had the highest and lowest contamination, respectively.
Conclusion: The prevalence of the disease was various in different regions and was higher compared with other provinces. On the other hand, the age of livestock can be noted in the incidence of hydatid cyst.
