“…IHA for CE was detected in 3.96% of the 24-30 year age group , 3.47% of the 37-42 year age group and 2.97%in the 18-23 and 49-54 year age groups. These results are in line with others in Yemen [13,17] . A significant difference (p= 0.001) between female age groups was observed without a correlation between female age groups and their IHA results (p= 0.340).…”

Objective: The aim is to determine the effectiveness of indirect Haemagglutination (IHA) as diagnostic techniques for Cystic Echinococcosis in Iraqi and the possible correlation of age and gender in disease occurrence. Material and Methods: IHA technique using sensitized sheep red blood cells coated with an Echinococcus granulosus antigen. A chi square, Pearson correlation used for analysis of categorical variables. Results: Patients presented with clinical manifestation of hydatidosis (202) selectively enrolled in this study. The mean age was 31.64±8.98 years. The minimum age was 18 years and the maximum age was 70 years. Males represent 50%, with the mean age of 33.50±7. 8 years. The rest of patients were females with a mean age of 29.78±9. 6 years. Positive cases represent 19.3%, and the 80.7% were negative. The number of positive cases was higher among females (22.8%) compared with males (15.8%) with no significant difference (p= 0.212) or correlation between gender and IHA results (p = 0.214) .The majority of patients had a the rage of 24-30 years, 31-36 years and 18-23 years. Among males, a higher number of positive cases at 31-36 years followed by 24-30 years and 49-54 years. Among females, a higher number of positive cases with 24-30 years of age was followed by those with 37-42 years of age and 18-23 years of age. There was a significant difference (p= 0.001) between age groups according to gender without a significant correlation between the age group and IHA results according to gender (p= 0.268). Conclusion:The IHA is considered as rapid, reliable and adequate technique that makes it possible to process a large number of samples simultaneously. It does not require highly trained technical personnel. Females appear to be more susceptible to CE than males especially in younger age groups.

Introductions: Hydatid cyst is caused by the tapeworm. It is common in sheep and cattle rearing communities. Liver is the most common affected organ. There are various methods of surgical approaches for hydatid cyst. Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study of patients operated for intra-abdominal hydatid cysts from July 2012 to June 2018 at Patan Hospital, Patan Academy of Health Sciences, Nepal. Ethical approval from institutional review committee was obtained. Patient files with incomplete data were excluded. Variables analyzed were, age, gender, site and numbers of cyst, methods of surgery, complications and mortality. Data were descriptively analyzed. Results: There were 19 patients of abdominal hydatid cysts who underwent surgery during the study period. Five records files could not be accessed and were excluded. In remaining 14, male were 6 (42.85%), female 8 (57.15%), mean age 39.57±17.35 years (14-70), cyst size 11±4.22 cm (5-21), complain of abdominal pain in 10 (71%). Open surgery for liver cyst was done in 11 and laparoscopic in one, and open splenectomy for two splenic cysts. One patient developed superficial wound infection. Four had cystobiliary communication of which one underwent ERCP. Post ERCP patient developed acute severe pancreatitis and expired.Mean hospital was 8.57±2.24 days (6-14). Conclusions: Liver was the main organ involved, abdominal pain and lump were main presenting complaints. Surgery had successful outcome. Open surgery was the mainstay of treatment.

“…Hydatidosis or Cystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by larvae of Echinococcus granulosus is an important zoonotic disease that constitutes a major public health problem in many countries around the world 1,2 . The disease has a global distribution in most regions where sheep-rearing is a major industry.…”

Anti-larval effects of essential oil and methanolic extract obtained from leaves, stems and inflorescences of Hymenocarter longiflorus against Echinococcus granulosus were investigated and characterized with toxicological methods. Gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analyses have revealed the presence of 87 components in the essential oil of H. longiflorus. The main chemical components are α-pinene (10.16 %), 1,8-cineole (1.53 %), linalool (2.98 %), p-menth-1-en-8-ol (9.82 %), β-bourbonene (2.72 %), trans-caryophyllene (2.29 %), germacrene D (1.8 %), δ-cadenene (3.02 %), β-cadenene (1.43 %), hedycaryol (6.42 %), spathulenol (4.14 %), caryophyllene oxide (2.81 %), epicedrol (1.49 %), cis-3-hexenyl phenyl acetate (1.84 %), cubenol (1.46 %), δ-cadinol (18.49 %), β-eudesmol (4.56 %), isobutyl phthalate (1.88 %) and 2-(5-acetyl-2-furyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone (1.82 %). The essential oil and the methanolic extract exhibited significant toxic activity against the larvae of E. granulosus with LC 50 values of 79.68 and 135.88 μm/ml, respectively. These results suggest that H. longiflorus is a potential source of anti-larval constituents against E. granulosus. Further studies should be carried out for larvicidal effects of this plant against other species.
