چکیده
This study includes isolation and identif ication of the larval stage Cyst icercus tenuico llis of dog's cestoda thin neck Taenia hydatigena from slaughtered animals in Basrah abattoir. A total of 180 sheeps and 90 goats were determined by sex and examined during six months of study from January to June 2009. The diameter of al ive cysts and the amount of liquid were measured. The total amount of protein was estimated at cyst ant igen, and finds 3.4 nm. In slaughtered animals cysts were found in omentum and abdominal cavity, while liver and spleen were enlarged with bleeding spots. Therefore, the distribution of dog cestode T. hydatigena increases the pathological effect on sheeps and goats in Basrah ci ty.

Some of the metacestodes are not only zoonotic but are also responsible for severe tissue damage, reduction in milk and meat production, and considerable economic loss due to condemnation of the infected organs of the herbivorous animals. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of Cysticercus ovis, Cysticercus tenuicollis, hydatid cyst and Coenurus gaigeri in sheep and goat...
متن کاملPrevalence and risk factors for Cysticercus tenuicollis in goats and sheep in Paraíba, northeastern Brazil Prevalência e fatores de risco para Cysticercus tenuicollis em caprinos e ovinos na Paraíba, Nordeste do Brasil
This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors for C. tenuicollis among goats and sheep in slaughterhouses in Paraíba. 390 animals (195 goats and 195 sheep) in the municipalities of Patos and Esperança, Paraíba, Brazil, were inspected between February and May 2014. The prevalence of C. tenuicollis was 39% (76/195) in goats and 17.4% (34/195) in sheep. In both species, most of the...

The present study aimed to investigate whether sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P), paraoxonase (PON), total sialic acid (TSA), and heat shock protein-27 (HSP27) are altered in the sheep during infection of the liver with Cysticercus tenuicollis. This study was conducted on40 healthy sheep and40 sheep with Cysticercus tenuicollis infection. The infected and non-infected animals were selected based on...
متن کاملGenetic characterization of three mitochondrial gene sequences of goat/sheep-derived coenurus cerebralis and cysticercus tenuicollis isolates in Inner Mongolia, China
Taenia multiceps and Taenia hydatigena are widely distributed tapeworms of canids. Due to a lack of genetic information on these two parasites in China, in this study we analyzed six coenurus cerebralis and two cysticercus tenuicollis cysts from goats or sheep in Inner Mongolia, northern China by amplifying three mitochondrial genes (cox1, nad4, and cytb). Two haplotypes were obtained at each l...

Aim: To identify immunodominant proteins of cystic fluid antigens and whole cyst lysate antigens of Cysticercus tenuicollis, the larval stage of the canine tapeworm Taenia hydatigena. Materials and Methods: Three numbers of cysts of C. tenuicollis were collected from the mesentry of small intestine of goats after slaughter.
