Abstract
Hydatid cysts are one of the most prevalent zoonotic diseases and cause major economic and health problems around the world. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the biochemical profiles of hydatid cyst fluid obtained from the lungs and liver of cattle, sheep and goats naturally infected with Echinococcus granulosus. In each species, 11 biochemical profiles of hydatid cyst fluid (calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, glucose, urea, uric acid, cholesterol, triglyceride, creatinine and total protein) were determined and compared between the lung and the liver. No significant differences in biochemical profiles were observed in cattle, sheep or goats (P > 0.05) indicating that biochemical profiles of hydatid cyst fluids do not relate to cyst location.
