Abstract
The Prevalence of Cystic Echinococcosis in Cattle Slaughtered in Sebeta Municipal Abattoir, Central Ethiopia
Highlights
Ethiopia despite having enormous livestock population the corresponding productivity remained marginal due to prevalent diseases, malnutrition and managerial constraints
The study revealed that the prevalence that of hydatid cysts is 176.55% and 74 visceral organs we found harboring one or more hydiatid cysts
Apart from abaiotic variables factors such as differences in culture, social activities and attitude to dogs in different regions contribute to the variation in prevalence rates The fertility rate of hydatidosis is highly important in livestock and public health in different parts of the world, and studies was conducted by different persons in different geographical area, and this shows that the need for strict implementation of control programs SOULSBY [4]
Summary
Ethiopia despite having enormous livestock population the corresponding productivity remained marginal due to prevalent diseases, malnutrition and managerial constraints. Among the many prevalent livestock diseases parasitism represent a major drawback to development in tropics for that matter it is high in Ethiopia. Cestode parasites in animals are important because several of these species are zoonotic causing diseases such as hydatidosis in man and animals. Echinococcosis/ Hydatidosis is a zoonotic diseas caused by tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus that occurs throughout the world and causes considerable economic losses and public health problems in many countries. Only four species are accepted and regarded as valid. These are Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus multilocularis, Echinococcus oligarthrus and Echinoccus vogeli Thompson [3]. The disease which is caused by E.granulosus has a broad geographical distribution, with highly endemic areas in countries of Africa, Latin America, Australia and Asia Soulsby [4]
