Cystic Echinicoccosis of Cattle and Sheep in Ordu
Cystic Echinicoccosis of Cattle and Sheep in Ordu
Objective: Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) a parasitic disease that affects both human and animal health, shows a broad distribution as well. Parasites are frequently seen in humans and animals living in less developed countries. It is difficult to diagnose in intermediate hosts since the clinical findings are not evident enough. Early diagnosis increases the success rate in the treatment of the disease.This disease, which closely concern human and animal health in Turkey, is seen in Eastern, North Eastern and Central Anatolia and rarely in the western region where the people, who migrated from our eastern region, commonly live and. E. granulosus adult form settles in the small intestine of the final host with dogs and other canines while lava form settles in animal’s internal organs such as intermediate host sheep, goats, cattle and pig and rarely in people's internal organs. The risk factors of the CE in humans can be listed as working in a rural area, keeping a dog, lack of information about the disease, age, gender and potable water supply. Surgical and chemotherapeutic treatment costs of the CE patients, their hospital expenses, deaths, loss of income caused by the fact that they are not able to work when they are ill and during the recovery period create a heavy burden on the economies of the countries. When economic and social losses regarding the cases which cannot be treated since they are not diagnosed are taken into account, control of the disease becomes highly significant. Furthermore, loss of carcass value in sheep, goats and cattle, loss of infected livers and implicit losses in yield cause serious economic loss.Methods: According to the data obtained, no study has been conducted in Ordu province concerning the epidemiology of Hydatid cyst. The aim of this study is to make a retrospective evaluation on the data of Cystic echinococcosis found in sheep and cattle slaughtered between the years 2008-2014 in the abattoir affiliated to the Municipality of Ordu, a province which also has some stray dog population.Results: The data for this study have been obtained from the abattoir records. In the abattoir affiliated to the Municipality of Ordu 26117 cattle and 1791 sheep were slaughtered between 2008-2014. As a result of the analysis performed, 1149 cattle and 114 sheep were infected with cystic echinococcosis.Conclusion: Presence of cattle and sheep with hydatid cyst in this study supports the idea that there are infected dogs in this region. This situation can be explained by the fact that the parasite can complete its evolution through the animals slaughtered in an uncontrolled manner. The study has also shown us that the control activities should be conducted in accordance with the epidemiology of the parasite and the results obtained.
