الملخص EN

This study was conducted at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture - Zawia University with the aim of collecting random samples from different slaughterhouses an slaughterhouses from areas west of Tripoli.

(Al-Zawiya / Sorman / Sabratha / Al-Ajailat) during the month of May 2023 in the form of a questionnaire to investigate the epidemiology of Echinococcosis granulosus and study the rate of infections in animals and people in these areas.

About 988 cases of sheep were examined, and the infection rate was 56 cases of echinococcosis granulomatous disease at the level of the various body organs in all areas from which the random samples were taken.

248 cases of people were examined, and the total infection rate was about 103 disease cases, males and females from all regions.

Age groups from one year old to 40 years old in the same areas from which the questionnaire was taken, where the results showed a higher infection rate in some organs in sheep carcasses than others, such as the liver.

Also, a higher rate of carcasses was observed in some areas compared to others, which led to an increase in the number of infections in Carcasses, and this may be due to the population size in those areas, as it has been noted that the rate of infection with this disease in rural areas is higher than in others.

The reason for this is due to the large number of farm animals raised and the presence of carnivores, which helps to complete the life cycle of this parasite.

It also showed the results showed a significant increase in the infection rate among the people examined for echinococcosis, as it was noted that the most infections were in people between the ages of 21 and 30 years, especially in men, and then especially in pregnant women, as the young age groups recorded the lowest infection rate compared to those ages 1-10, followed by high.

Ages 11-20 respectively.

It was also noted that a high rate of infection in various organs of the body with hydration cysts was observed in both sexes, where the highest infection rate was 4% for the kidney organ, distributed to 3% for males and 1% for females, while the infection rate for the rest of the body organs was for males.

The infection rate for females was 1.4%, respectively, while the lung recorded 0.7%, while the heart recorded 1.6%, while the lowest infection rate for females was 0.3% in the lung, while the rest of the organs (liver and heart, respectively) were 1.6, 1.4.

The infection rate for me was 0.3%.

Males are higher than females, especially at the age of 25 to 35 years.
