Prevalence of cystic echinococcosis in Egyptian donkeys.

Abstract

The present study detected the prevalence rate of hydatid cysts in different organs of 103 donkeys at Giza Zoo in Egypt during the period that extended from October, 2016 to September, 2017. The overall prevalence rate of hydatid cysts was 15.53%, with the majority of cysts (87.50%) found in the liver, followed by the mixed infection of lung and liver (12.50%). The majority of the cysts (56.89%) were fertile, and (40.72%) were sterile, while (2.40%) were calcified. Considering number of fertile cyst, (66) of mixed type lung and liver cysts were fertile compared to (29) of liver cysts. It was found that the prevalence rate of hydatid cysts was higher in female donkeys than in male and in old age donkeys with no cases in young to adult age ones.

“…In donkeys slaughtered at Giza Zoo, a relatively high prevalence ranging from 17.0% to 20.0% was recorded ( Haridy et al., 2008a ; Al-Kappany et al., 2016 ; Ahmed et al., 2018 ). These donkeys were native breeds reared in Egyptian villages before being transferred to the Giza Zoo for feeding wild animals, and they were likely to be infected through contaminated pastures with parasite eggs.…”
