“…In the present study, the observed number of sterile cysts in cattle (n=170) was higher than that of sheep (n=5), that is in agreement with findings of studies carried out in Mazandaran province (Iran), western of Iran, northwest Iran and Northwestern Ethiopia (Daryani et al, 2007;Dalimi et al, 2002;Kebede, Abebe, & Tilahun, 2009). …”

“…In Northwestern Ethiopia, most of the considered fertile cysts were small (Kebede, Abebe, & Tilahun, 2009). In current study, in relation between type and size of the cysts, most of sterile cysts were small (Table 2), which the results were similar to finding of Dalimi et al in western of Iran (Dalimi et al, 2002). Most of calcified and suppurative cysts had small size (Tables 3 and 4).…”

“…Furthermore, here the highest fertility of cysts found in sheep's liver was similare to findings reported from studies in Mazandaran (47.1%), northwest Iran (68.5%), western Iran (36.9%) and Saudi Arabia (56.33%) (Mohebali & Sammak, 1996;Daryani et al, 2007;Dalimi et al, 2002;Ibrahim, 2010). However, other surveys demonstrated that sheep's lungs in Sardinia and Peruvian Andes as well as cattle's lungs in Northwestern Ethiopia had the maximum cyst fertility (Dueger & Gilman, 2001;Scala, Garippa, Varcasia, Tranquillo, & Genchi, 2006;Kebede, Abebe, & Tilahun, 2009).…”

“…Most of calcified and suppurative cysts had small size (Tables 3 and 4). In western Iran, these cysts often had small size in sheep but in cattle were medium size (Dalimi et al, 2002). In this study, the highest and lowest viability of cysts were seen in cattle's lungs and sheep liver respectively (Table 6).…”

“…In Iran the rate of the infection in carnivores and herbivores such as sheep, cattle, and goat is significant. Also human infections are frequently reported from most parts of this country (Daryani et al, 2007;Ahmadi & Hamidi, 2008;Sadjjadi, Sedaghat, Hosseini, & Sarkari, 2009;Ahmadi & Meshkehkar, 2010;Shahnazi, Hejazi, Salehi, & Andalib, 2011;Dalimi et al, 2002;Mamishi, Sagheb, & Pourakbari, 2007). Hereby, hydatidosis is a major health-economic problem, that has become one of the WHO's active plans for controling the disease (Vuitton, 1997).…”

This study was conducted to estimate the fertility of hydatid cysts and viability of protoscoleces based on the location, size and type of cysts in slaughtered animals in Qazvin, Iran. Cysts were collected from the livers and lungs of 247 sheep and 275 cattle infected with hydatid cysts. Fertility of the cysts was assessed by examining the cysts' fluid for the presence of protoscoleces and the viability of the protoscoleces was determined using staining with an aqueous solution of 0.1% eosin. The highest and lowest rate of fertility was observed in hepatic cysts of sheep (81.05%), and cattle (1.27%) respectively. Most fertile cysts had medium size (45.03%), while the lowest fertility rate belonged to the small cysts (22.8%) . Relationship between fertility of the cysts and type of infected organs, type of animals and size of cysts were significant (p<0.05). The highest rate of viability was found in cattle's lungs (88.06%) and the lowest rate was seen in sheep's liver cysts (46.49%). There was significant difference in viability of fertile cysts between cattle and sheep organs (p<0.05). Most of sterile, suppurative and calcified cysts were found in cattle's lungs (84.7%), cattle's liver (89.87%) and sheep's liver (6.58%) respectively.In conclusion it can be said that fertility rates of liver and lung hydatid cysts of sheep and viability of their protoscoleces is considerable. In addition, although the fertility of cysts in cattle was low, but they had high viability rate.

This paper reviews the literature on zoonotic cestode infections with specific reference to the years 1999-2003. The sources and prevalence of various zoonotic tapeworm infections caused by adult and larval stages of the genera Taenia, Echinococcus, Diphyllobothrium, Hymenolepis and Dipylidium continue to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality, not only in most underdeveloped countries but also in industrialized countries, particularly in rural areas or among immigrant groups from endemic areas. The review gives a detailed report on recent molecular epidemiological studies on the taxonomy and phylogenetic variations in Echinococcus granulosus, immunological tests and imaging techniques used in epidemiological surveys and clinical investigations of important adult and larval tapeworm infections of animals and humans. Larval stages or metacestodes of Taenia solium, Echinococcus spp. and pseudophyllidean tapeworms (Spirometra syn. Diphyllobothrium spp.) may reside in various tissues of their intermediate hosts, including humans. In particular, Cysticercus cellulosae (T. solium) and the larvae of E. granulosus, and E. multilocularis, which are predominantly located in the liver, lungs and central nervous system forming various types of cysts, lead to a complex of systemic diseases such as cysticercosis, cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis, respectively. Relatively rare clinical manifestations are seen in the muscles, subcutaneous tissue, spleen, kidneys, bones and body cavities.
