BACKGROUND
Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by hydatid cysts, is a widespread and hazardous disease in humans and animals worldwide. The disease is very common in Turkey, causing serious economic losses and public health problem. In this study, the seroprevalence of equine CE was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
METHODS
Partially purified cyst fluid antigen from sheep hydatid cyst fluid was used as antigen in ELISA. A total of 250 equids consisting of 206 donkeys and 44 horses from various regions of Erzurum province of Eastern Turkey.
RESULTS
Anti- Echinococcus granulosus antibodies were detected in 78 (31.2%) of 250 equids. The prevalence rate was 20.4% for horses and 33.5% for donkeys. There was no statistically difference between sex and ages groups for both horses and donkeys (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
Equine CE is quite endemic in Eastern Turkey. The high prevalence of CE suggests that equids in the transmission cycles is possible as a source of infection for definitive hosts.
背景
由棘球蚴囊肿引起的囊型包虫病（CE）是一种在全球范围内广泛存在且对人类和动物有害的疾病。该病在土耳其非常常见，会造成严重的经济损失和公共卫生问题。在本研究中，通过酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）确定了马类囊型包虫病的血清流行率。
方法
将来自绵羊棘球蚴囊肿液的部分纯化囊肿液抗原用作ELISA中的抗原。总共250匹马属动物，包括来自土耳其东部埃尔祖鲁姆省不同地区的206头驴和44匹马。
结果
在250匹马属动物中，有78头（31.2%）检测到抗细粒棘球绦虫抗体。马的患病率为20.4%，驴的患病率为33.5%。马和驴的性别和年龄组之间均无统计学差异（P>0.05）。
结论
马类囊型包虫病在土耳其东部相当流行。囊型包虫病的高流行率表明，马属动物在传播循环中可能作为终末宿主的感染源。
