Hydatidosis, or echincoccosis, is a serious medical and veterinary problem in many countries, particularly those with rural communities where there is a greater contact between dogs and domestic animals.
Domestic livestock act as intermediate hosts which are the main reservoir for the disease in humans.
It is therefore very important to estimate the prevalence of hydatid cysts in slaughtered animals since it can be transmitted to humans through dogs, which act as the final host for the disease.
From this point of view, the present study was suggested to determine the prevalence of hydatidosis in Sawakny sheep slaughtered in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia.
During the course of the study 12,569 Sawakny sheep were inspected for hydatidosis infection.
An overall prevalence of 1.06% was detected among the examined sheep, with the highest prevalence occurring in winter (1.38%) and lowest prevalence in summer (0.67%).
Sheep aged 6–12 months had a higher rate of infection than older animals, and males were the predominant carriers of infection (97.7%) compared to females (2.3%).
The liver was the most infected organ (79.1%), followed by the lungs (14.6%), while concurrent infections of both the liver and the lungs occurred in 6% of cases.
The fertility and viability rates of hydatid cysts in the liver (70.1% and 85.1% respectively) were higher than that in any other organs.
In conclusion, it is evident that fertile cysts in slaughtered sheep could have an important role in the continuation of hydatid cyst transmission to humans through dogs.
Considerable effort should be devoted to controlling the transmission of cysts from abattoirs by the secure disposal of infected offal.
In addition, plans are required for further epidemiological studies and control programs.
