“…Gholami in 2018 conducted a meta analyse beetwen 1995-2015 among 40 different study (totally 3090 cases). Results showed that spread of the disease in rural regions is more abundant than in urban areas (18). But in the other study in northern of Iran between 2005-2015 showed that the infection rates in urban population were higher than the rural people (19).…”

Objective: Cystic echinococcosis has been recognized as one of the most common zoonotic diseases in many parts of the world, which is caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of Cystic echinococcosis cases in human in East Azerbaijan Province, Iran, during 2011-2017. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive epidemiologic study included seven-year period and investigated variables such as age, gender, involved organs, mortality, residential place types of patients and relations between these data. Data of the patients who had referred to the referral hospital in the East Azerbaijan, Iran with hydatid cysts were evaluated. Results:The highest percentage of the cases were females (56.2%). The most common age range was 18-35 (33.5%). Liver was the highly involved organ, in 918 cases (60.2%). The highest case number was detected in the year 2015 (17.0%), while the year 2012 (11.4%) had the least rate of cases. The rural population with the highest rate of 62.2% had the most incidence. A survey of occupations showed that housewives (19.6%) had the highest rate in terms of variety among other occupations. Conclusion:The results of this study confirmed the increasing incidence of this disease in the East Azerbaijan region. Because the disease in the region is endemic, public awareness and knowledge about the disease need to be increased in order to reduce related health problems and increase the level of prevention at the community level.

“…The larval stage of the cestode parasite Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato ( E. granulosus s. l.) causes cystic echinococcosis (CE) also known as cystic hydatid disease, a chronic parasitic zoonosis of humans and domestic and wild mammals. CE is a disease of poverty and usually occurs in herding communities [ 1 , 2 ]. Canids are the definitive hosts of E. granulosus and herbivores (e.g.…”

Background Cystic echinococcosis (CE), a worldwide zoonotic disease, is affected by various biological and environmental factors. We investigated dog/livestock populations, climatic and environmental factors influencing the distribution of human CE cases in Fars province, southwest Iran. Methods We mapped the addresses of 266 hospitalised CE patients (2004–2014) and studied the effects of different temperature models, mean annual rainfall and humidity, number of frosty days, slope, latitude, land covers, close proximity to nomads travel routes, livestock and dog densities on the occurrence of CE using geographical information systems approach. Data were analyzed by logistic regression. Results In the multivariate model predicting CE, living in an urban setting and densities of cattle and dogs were the most important CE predictors, sequentially. Dry (rained) farm, density of camel and sheep, close proximity to nomads travel routes, humidity, and slope also were considered as the determinants of CE distribution, when analyzed independently. Slope had a negative correlation with CE while temperature, frost days and latitude were not associated with CE. Conclusions In our study, an urban setting was the most important risk factor and likely due to a combination of the high density of key life cycle hosts, dogs and livestock, a large human susceptible population and the high number of abattoirs. Farmland and humidity were highly suggestive risk factors and these conditions support the increased survival of Echinococcus granulosus eggs in the soil. These findings support the development of strategies for control of disease. More research is needed test optimal interventions.

“…Serological methods for the diagnosis of HCL have a high Se (38% -93%) and Sp (80% -100%). A meta-analysis conducted by Iranian researchers of the incidence of echinococcosis, based on seropositivity, showed that 6.0% of the total population is infected and the above method is specific for HCL, with Sp 95.1% (8). Previous authors have also identified US as the most sensitive method for diagnosing HCL of types CE3 -CE5, with Se 97.6% and Sp 99%; these authors also emphasize that US is sensitive and specific for determining HCL types CL and CE1 -CE3 in children (6).…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of various diagnostic methods of HCL in children. Methods: From 2005 to 2019, we examined 154 children with suspected HCL. A total 93 (60.4%) children had HCL, and 61 (39.6%) had nonparasitic cysts. All children received clinical and laboratory examination with US. We divided patients with HCL into Group I (CL type of HCL, 27 patients), Group II (CE1 type, 32 patients), and Group III (CE2 type, 34 patients). Results: Comprehensive examination, including clinical manifestations of disease together with US and ELISA, showed sensitivity of 59.8% and specificity of 47.5% for all types of HCL. Conclusions: We found that the most informative diagnostic approach for all types of HCL in children is a combination of clinical manifestations together with US and ELISA.
