“…The prevalence of CE in livestock varied from 3.5% to 58.6%, depending on different geographical locations and specimens examined (Altintas, 2008). CE was more prevalent in sheep (46.4%) in Van (Oguz and Deger, 2013) than in cattle (33.9%) in Erzurum , goats (22.1%) in Burdur (Umur, 2003) or buffaloes (10.2%) in the central Black Sea Region (Beyhan andUmur, 2011). p1470 In Iran, canine echinococcosis has been reported from across the country.…”

“…Cases of human cystic echinococcosis are widely distributed in Turkey, being reported from health institutions and organisations throughout the country. The revealed prevalence of cystic echinococcosis (CE) in Turkish livestock ranges from 3% to 46.4% and varies in different regions (14, 23, 24, 29). On the other hand, the prevalence of the disease has been reported as 0.94% to 54.5% in research conducted in different regions of Turkey on the presence of E. granulosus in dogs (4, 16, 25).…”

IntroductionEchinococcus granulosus is a zoonotic helminth of the Taeniidae family living in the small intestines of dogs. The hydatid cyst, which is the larval form of this parasite, is observed in sheep, goat, cattle, and many other organisms including humans. It causes a disease called cystic echinococcosis. Identification of strains of E. granulosus in dogs is critical in parasite control and eradication where possible. This study aims to determine the genotype of E. granulosus eggs and prevalence of this parasite in the faeces of dogs in the Van Province using the copro-PCR method.Material and MethodsThis study was conducted between 2015 and 2016 on the faeces obtained from 100 stray dogs from different parts of the Van Province. The coprological examination was conducted using the formalin-ether concentration method.ResultsTaeniidae eggs were found in 10 (10%) out of 100 faecal samples. E. granulosus was detected in 4 out of 10 of these (40%) infected samples. Sequence analysis of positive amplicons obtained from PCR showed that there were sheep strains (G1).ConclusionDogs in Van area are primarily infected with the livestock genotype of E. granulosus, which is thought to be a potential zoonotic threat to humans.

“…Turkey is also located in the Mediterranean countries which are widespread of genotype G1-G3 (Cardona and Carmena, 2013). Especially, the incidence of CE in humans, sheep and cattle is more prevalence in Van, where the livestock industry is important (Oğuz and Değer, 2013;Sayır and Çobanoğlu, 2013).…”

Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato is a zoonotic helminth with a life cycle that include of definitive hosts (dogs and wild carnivores) and intermediate hosts (usually the even-toed ungulates, Artiodactyla). Intermediate hosts become infected by ingesting the parasite eggs in contaminated food and water. Accidental intermediate hosts acquire infection in a similar way as other intermediate hosts. A two-year-old female cat was presented to the Van (Turkey) Animal Care and Rehabilitation Center with abdominal tension. Multiple intraperitoneal vesicles, which were found to be E. granulosus (s.1.) metacestodes, were observed during the ultrasound imaging. Then, the animal was laparotomized. Phylogenetic analysis based the partial cytochrome c oxidase 1 (pcox1) mitochondrial gene region was performed on metacestode samples (hydatid cysts). The isolate was identified as sensu stricto genotype G1, which is most commonly found in Turkey.

Abstract: This study indicated that, in slaughtered animals, meat is a common source of cysticerces and the importance cannot be underestimated.
