CASES OF REGISTRATION OF LARVAL CESTODIASIS OF SHEEP AT A SLAUGHTERHOUSE IN THE MOSCOW REGION

Abstract

On the territory of the slaughterhouse located in the Moscow Region, a veterinary and sanitary assessment of carcasses and internal organs was carried out in accordance with the Customs Union Technical Regulations "On the safety of meat and meat products" No. 68 TR CU 034/2013 dated 09/10/2013 for the infection with larval cestodiasis. As a result, 3 species of pathogens were recorded: Echinococcus granulosus, Cysticercus taenuicollis and Coenurus cerebralis. E. granulosus larvae was detected in the parenchymal organs in 211 cases, which corresponds to 42.2%. It is worth noting that the blister cavities were localized in the liver in 23.7%, in the lungs in 15.6%, and in both organs in 2.9%. From 1 to 8 blisters were found. In addition to echinococcosis, coenurus blister cavities were found in 2 animals, and Cysticercus tenuicollis, in 22 sheep from the Karachay-Cherkess Republic; the IP was 2.0 and 22.4%, and tenuicollic cysticercosis infection in the Astrakhan and Volgograd Regions was 2.9 and 6.0%, respectively. Such a wide spread of echinococcosis is a fairly high indicator for such a particularly dangerous zoonosis, as parenchymal organs can be a source of infection for dogs, and subsequently for humans.
