Abstract

Echinococcosis in Livestock Slaughtered in Arak Industrial Abattoir in Central Iran During 2006 to 2012. Ghasemikhah R1, Shahdoust M2, Sarmadian H3, Rezaei M4, Ghorbanzadeh B1, Gorji A5, Zare-Bidaki M6. Author information • 1Department of Parasitology and mycology, Arak University of Medical Sciences, Arak, Iran. • 2Department of Biostatistics and epidemiology, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran. • 3Department of Infectious Diseases, Arak University of Medical Sciences, Arak, Iran. • 4Department of Food Safety and Hygiene, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. • 5Veterinary directorate general of Markazi province, Arak, Iran. • 6Immunology of Infectious Diseases Research Center, Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences, Rafsanjan, Iran, e-mail: m.zare@rums.ac.ir. Abstract Objective: Echinococcosis or hydatid cyst in humans and livestock is resulted from the larval stage of dog tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus. Although Iran is considered as an endemic focus of echinococcosis in the world, however, the status of three well-known aspects of the infection, ie canids, livestock and humans populations, is not still completely elucidated in Arak city, the capital of the Markazi province. This study aimed to elucidate the livestock infection in the region. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, after necessary coordination with the provincial administration of Iranian Veterinary Organization, totally 860 171 livestock slaughtered in industrial slaughterhouse of Arak city, including 364 682 sheep, 117 495 cattle and 377 994 goats were investigated during 2006 to 2012. The collected data were statistically analysed using SPSS software. Results: The average prevalence of liver and lung infection in studied livestock was 1.94% and 3.24%, respectively. Sheep and goats have the highest and lowest prevalence of both liver and lung infection, respectively. Prevalence of hydatid cyst in goats and sheep, not cattle, in various years of the study period showed a statistically significant difference. Conclusion: Our results revealed a lower infection rate of hydatid cysts in the livestock of this region compared to the country average and many other Iranian provinces. Moreover, the study may imply an active local transmission cycle of echinococcosis.

2006年至2012年伊朗中部阿拉克工业屠宰场屠宰的牲畜中的棘球蚴病

2006年至2012年，伊朗中部阿拉克工业屠宰场屠宰的牲畜中出现棘球蚴病。Ghasemikhah R1、Shahdoust M2、Sarmadian H3、Rezaei M4、Ghorbanzadeh B1、Gorji A5、Zare Bidaki M6。作者信息•1伊朗阿拉克医学科学大学寄生虫学和真菌学系。•2伊朗哈马丹医学科学大学生物统计学和流行病学系。•3伊朗阿拉克医学科学大学传染病系。•4伊朗德黑兰医学科学大学食品安全与卫生系。•5伊朗阿拉克马尔卡齐省兽医局局长。•6伊朗拉夫桑詹医学科学大学传染病免疫学研究中心，电子邮箱：m.zare@rums.ac.ir.摘要目的：人畜棘球蚴病或棘球蚴囊肿是由狗绦虫颗粒棘球蚴幼虫期引起的。尽管伊朗被认为是世界上棘球蚴病的流行地，但在马尔卡齐省首府阿拉克市，犬科动物、牲畜和人类这三个众所周知的感染方面的状况仍未完全阐明。本研究旨在阐明该地区的牲畜感染情况。方法：在这项描述性横断面研究中，在与伊朗兽医组织省级管理部门进行必要协调后，对2006年至2012年阿拉克市工业屠宰场屠宰的860 171头牲畜进行了调查，其中包括364 682只绵羊、117 495头牛和377 994只山羊。使用SPSS软件对收集的数据进行统计分析。结果：研究牲畜肝脏和肺部感染的平均患病率分别为1.94%和3.24%。绵羊和山羊的肝脏和肺部感染率分别最高和最低。在研究期间的不同年份，山羊和绵羊（而不是牛）的棘球蚴病患病率显示出统计学上的显著差异。结论：我们的研究结果显示，与全国平均水平和伊朗其他许多省份相比，该地区牲畜的棘球蚴感染率较低。此外，这项研究可能意味着棘球蚴病的一个活跃的局部传播周期。

期刊介绍： The Journal is international in scope, with author and editorial contributions from across the globe. The focus is on clinical and epidemiological aspects of tropical and infectious diseases, new and re-emerging infections, chronic non-communicable diseases, and medical conditions prevalent in the Latin America-Caribbean region, and of significance to global health, especially in developing countries. The Journal covers all medical disciplines, as well as basic and translational research elucidating the pathophysiologic basis of diseases or focussing on new therapeutic approaches, and publishes original scientific research, reviews, case reports, brief communications, letters, commentaries and medical images. The Journal publishes four to six issues and four supplements annually. English is the language of publication but Abstracts are also duplicated in Spanish. Most of the articles are submitted at the authors’ initiative, but some are solicited by the Editor-in-Chief. Unless expressly stated, the Editorial Board does not accept responsibility for authors’ opinions. All papers on submission are reviewed by a subcommittee. Those deemed worthy for review are sent to two or three reviewers (one of the three might be a statistician if necessary). The returned papers with reviewer comments are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief. Papers may be rejected, accepted or sent back to authors for revision. Resubmitted papers from authors are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief and may be sent back to reviewers or a final decision made by Editor-in-Chief. The decision of the Editorial Board is final with regards to rejected articles. Rejected articles will not be returned to the authors. The editorial subcommittee has the right to return sub-standard manuscripts to the authors, rather than passing them on to the reviewers. This implies outright rejection of the manuscript.
