background: hydatidosis is one of the most prevalent zoonotic diseases worldwide. so far no survey was conducted to deter mine the rate of human hydatidosis in golestan province, so using ifa and elisa tests the prevalence of this disease was detected in patients referred to health centers in this province. methods: totally 1024 serum samples were collected from patients referred to different h...

on the continuation of sorting the puzzle of the situation of hydatid disease in iran and considering that so far no survey was conducted in this context in arak city, markazi province central iran, the present study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of human hydatidosis using agb-elisa test.totally 578 serum samples randomly were collected from patients referred to hospitals and di...

BACKGROUND Hydatidosis is a zoonotic disease of global prevalence. It causes considerable health problems and economic losses throughout the world, including Iran. The objective of this study was to assess the current status of echinococcosis/hydatidosis in the province of Ilam (western Iran). METHODS From April to September 2011, 65 stray dogs were collected from urban and rural areas of Ila...

background: this study aimed to investigate the epidemiological and clinical aspects of patients with hydatid cyst during 2011 to 2014. methods : this cross-sectional study was conducted in khorasan razavi province, the northeast of iran, from 2011 to 2014. the study population was all cases with hydatid cyst who diagnosed in governmental and private laboratories, hospitals and health centers (...

Objective: To evaluate the validity of the Enzyme-linked Immuno-electro Transfer Blot (EITB) technique to diagnose human hydatidosis using sheep hydatid fluid antigens and human sera infected with hydatidosis. Design: After preparing parasite antigen from sheep hydatid cyst fluid, all collected human sera infected with hydatidosis and other parasitic diseases as well as normal individuals, were...

background and aims: hydatidosis is a major health problem caused by larva stage of cestodes belonging to the genus echinococcus granulosus with a cosmopolitan distribution. zoonoses have a mountain side distribution in iran. echinococcus granulosus takes places in two models sylvatic and domestic. both life-cycles are present in iran and human is considered as an afferent host. the prevalence ...

hydatidosis, caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus, is one of the most important zoonosis with worldwide distribution. as its diagnosis by clinical symptoms and scanning alone is difficult and confusing, we designed the present study to achieve a sensitive and simple diagnostic method for epidemiological studies. sera (250 samples) were collected from 90 cases of hydatidosis pro...

background: the aim of this study was to conduct a sero-epidemiological survey in meshkinshahr, ardabil province, northwestern iran to detect the rate of hydatidosis in the city and nearby villages. literature shows that no such study has been conducted so far. methods: overall, 670 serum samples were collected from 194 males and 476 females from patients referred to different health centers of...

Hydatidosis (echinococcosis) is a parasitic disease caused by the development in the human host of the larval form of the Echinococcus spp. tapeworm. Among the parasitic diseases transmitted from animal to human, hydatidosis represents the main Romanian helminthic zoonosis in humans, due to the severity of the clinical presentation and the complications of this illness. Before 1995-2000, surgic...

Human cystic echinococcosis (hydatidosis) is a parasitic zoonosis with almost complete worldwide distribution. Echinococcus granulosus, the dog tapeworm, causes hydatidosis which accounts for 95% of human echinococcosis. Although this tapeworm is found in dogs as a definitive host and a number of intermediate hosts, humans are often infected from close contact with infected dogs. Humans are not...
