Abstract

Helminthic parasites are a significant concern for the food industry because of their detrimental effects on livestock health and food safety. This study aimed to provide data on the prevalence of helminthic parasites in 2250 slaughtered small ruminants in Qazvin Province, Iran. The overall infection rate was 56.6%, with sheep (64.9%) exhibiting a higher prevalence compared with goats (41.9%). Cystic echinococcosis (CE) was the most frequently detected parasite, followed by Moniezia expansa and Cysticercus tenuicollis. This study revealed higher susceptibility to infections in male animals and younger sheep, with infections occurring year-round, peaking in spring and summer. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions, such as improved pasture management and deworming strategies, to mitigate economic losses and zoonotic risks. This research contributes significantly to livestock health and food safety efforts in Iran, advocating for integrated control measures within a One Health framework.

伊朗加兹温省屠宰的小反刍动物体内的寄生虫：对健康和食品工业的影响。

由于寄生虫对牲畜健康和食品安全的有害影响，它们是食品工业的一个重大关切。本研究旨在提供伊朗Qazvin省2250只屠宰小反刍动物中寄生虫流行情况的数据。总感染率为56.6%，其中绵羊（64.9%）高于山羊（41.9%）。最常见的寄生虫是囊性棘球蚴病（CE），其次是扩张Moniezia和细囊尾蚴。这项研究表明，雄性动物和年轻的绵羊对感染的易感性更高，感染全年发生，春季和夏季达到高峰。这些发现强调需要采取有针对性的干预措施，如改善牧场管理和驱虫战略，以减轻经济损失和人畜共患病风险。这项研究对伊朗的牲畜健康和食品安全工作作出了重大贡献，倡导在“同一个健康”框架内采取综合控制措施。

期刊介绍： Foodborne Pathogens and Disease is one of the most inclusive scientific publications on the many disciplines that contribute to food safety. Spanning an array of issues from "farm-to-fork," the Journal bridges the gap between science and policy to reduce the burden of foodborne illness worldwide. Foodborne Pathogens and Disease coverage includes: Agroterrorism Safety of organically grown and genetically modified foods Emerging pathogens Emergence of drug resistance Methods and technology for rapid and accurate detection Strategies to destroy or control foodborne pathogens Novel strategies for the prevention and control of plant and animal diseases that impact food safety Biosecurity issues and the implications of new regulatory guidelines Impact of changing lifestyles and consumer demands on food safety.
