“…In African countries, in north western Morocco the prevalence rate was 10.7, 1.4 and 80% in sheep, goats and camels respectively (Pandey et al, 1986); in Libya, the CE infection rate was reported to be 4.9% in sheep, 2.4% in goats, 2.7% in camels; and 15% in cattle (Kassem et al, 2013), while in Ethiopia, the prevalence rate was 35.15% in cattle, 11.78% in sheep, 4.9% in goats, 16.79% in camels, with pigs being free of the infection altogether (Fromsa and Jobre, 2011). In Egypt, the buffaloes in our study were likewise found to be free from any infection, which is in agreement with previous reports from Egypt (Rahman et al, 1992;Dyab et al, 2005), but in disagreement with reports from countries like Bangladesh, where 42.36% of the baffalo were found to be infected (Islam, 1982).…”

Hydatid disease is a re-emerging disease that infects human and animals world-wide. Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is the most common form of the disease. In Egypt, CE is an endemic disease and several reports have indicated an increasing prevalence rate of the CE infection in animals and humans in the last few years. The aim of the current study is to determine the prevalence rate and other epidemiological factors in the infecting of ruminants with CE in different locations in Upper Egypt. The data gathered shows that of 4,498 animals examined, 89 (1.97%) had the hydatid cyst. Sheep were the most affected animal species (14.1%), then goats (13%), camels (5%) and cattle (0.068%), while buffaloes were free from infection. A higher percentage were affected in the liver (39.3%) than in the lungs (32.5%) and other viscera (2.2%), while 25.8% were affected in both the liver and the lungs The general fertility rate of cysts examined was 27.71%; cysts of camel origin were the most fertile (66.6%), followed by those of goats (29.41%) and sheep (15.51%); that of cattle was 0%. The current study provides current data about the status of CE infection in ruminants in Upper Egypt that will aid further studies and enable more precise planning for effective control strategies

“…Many researchers from various parts of the world have recorded different prevalences of CE in buffaloes. Epidemiological surveys have been conducted in Pakistan with prevalence rates ranging from 7.14 to 68% (Latif et al , 2010); in India with prevalence rates ranging from 3.81 to 69.0% (Irshadullah et al , 1989; Singh et al , 1989; Pednekar et al , 2009); in Nepal with a prevalence rate of 5% (Joshi et al , 1997); in Iraq with a prevalence rate of 6.57% (Al-Sultan & Jarjees, 1999); in Egypt with a prevalence rate of 0.46% (Haridy et al , 1998); in Italy with a prevalence rate ranging from 8.7 to 12.4% (Capuano et al , 2006; Cringoli et al , 2006) and in Bangladesh with a prevalence rate of 45.2% (Islam, 1982a, b).…”

The prevalence and fertility of hydatid cysts in buffaloes from Iran

2011

Cystic echinococcosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus is considered to be an important parasitic infection in livestock. In the present study, which aimed to determine the epidemiology of hydatidosis in buffalo in Iran, slaughterhouses of West Azerbaijan (Urmia), East Azerbaijan (Tabriz), Ardabil (Ardabil), Gilan (Rasht and Hashtpar) and Khuzestan (Ahvaz) were inspected. Age, sex and infected organs were recorded separately, and the observed cysts were examined for fertility and viability. Our results showed that 344 (9%) of 3832 inspected buffaloes were infected with hydatid cysts. The maximum and minimum infection rates occurred in Khuzestan (9.9%) and Ardabil (8%) provinces, respectively. There was no significant difference in the rate of infection in all provinces. Of 344 infected buffaloes, the rate of fertility was 7.3% and the rate of viability in fertile cysts was 78.75%. Hydatid cysts were more prevalent in female compared with male buffaloes (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between the age and number of infected hosts in all provinces except East Azerbaijan. The prevalence of infection in lungs was significantly higher than that in the livers of buffaloes in the provinces studied (P < 0.001). In conclusion, the fertility of hydatid cysts in buffaloes was low, as previously demonstrated in cattle, and this animal may play a minor role in the epidemiology of hydatidosis in Iran.

“…In a 2010 study, the CE prevalence in slaughtered animals (cattle, sheep, and goats) was 26% in the Comilla (90 km from Dhaka) and Brahman Baria (100 km from Dhaka) regions of Bangladesh [6]. Additional studies have reported prevalences ranging from 17.2% to 29.6% in cattle [7][8][9]. A study of E. granulosus infection in stray dogs in Bangladesh revealed an average prevalence of 62.5%, with prevalences up to 75.8% recorded in dogs in and around slaughterhouses [5].…”

Introduction: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is reported from nearly all geographic areas of Bangladesh, but little information is available on its epidemiologic and clinical features. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical manifestations of hepatic and abdominal CE cases presenting to tertiary referral hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Methodology: A retrospective study was conducted via chart reviews of hepatic and abdominal CE patients under care at tertiary referral hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh, between 2002 and 2011. Age, sex, education level, occupation, urban versus rural residence, drinking water source, history of dog ownership, cyst type and location, and clinical manifestations were recorded for all patients. Results: Of the 130 patients enrolled, 92 (70.8%) were female and 38 (29.2%) were male. The majority of patients were from rural (76.2%) rather than urban (23.8%) areas. All cases were from the northern part of the country, with no cases reported from the south or southeast. Most patients were between 21 and 40 years of age. A total of 119 patients (91.5%) had cysts only in the liver, with the remaining 8.5% having cysts in both the liver and lungs or in the abdominal cavity. Seventy-six (58.5%) of the hepatic cysts were stage CE1, indicating recent infection. Conclusions: Active transmission of Echinococcus granulosus appears to be occurring in Bangladesh, as indicated by the high number of CE1 hepatic cysts seen at tertiary care hospitals. Community ultrasound screening studies are warranted to better define the distribution of cases and risk factors for parasite transmission.
