The current study aimed at estimating the direct (condemned offal) and indirect (meat, milk, and fecundity losses) production losses due to cystic echinococcosis (CE) in water buffaloes in Turkey. A spreadsheet loss model was constructed, and the mean prevalence ratio of CE was accepted as 3.8% in male and 21.7% in female buffaloes. The annual financial losses were estimated with official and previously published data under expected (mean value), optimistic (lowered by 10%), and pessimistic (increased by 10%) scenarios with the prices current in 2021. The production losses in an infected male and female water buffalo were estimated at $54.5 ($49.1-59.9) and $89.9 ($80.9-98.9), respectively. Due to CE, the nationwide annual total production losses were estimated at $1.5 million ($1.3-1.6) for water buffaloes in Turkey. In conclusion, farmers, policymakers, and the public need to be informed about CE's risks and financial impact. Control/eradication programs should be included in government policies at the national level after a cost/benefit analysis.
本研究旨在估算土耳其水牛因囊性棘球蚴病（CE）造成的直接（废弃内脏）和间接（肉类、奶类及繁殖力损失）生产损失。构建了一个电子表格损失模型，CE在雄性水牛中的平均患病率为3.8%，在雌性水牛中为21.7%。利用官方数据和先前发表的数据，按照预期（均值）、乐观（降低10%）和悲观（提高10%）三种情景，以2021年的现行价格估算年度经济损失。受感染的雄性和雌性水牛的生产损失分别估计为54.5美元（49.1 - 59.9美元）和89.9美元（80.9 - 98.9美元）。由于CE，土耳其全国水牛的年度总生产损失估计为150万美元（130万 - 160万美元）。总之，需要让养殖户、政策制定者和公众了解CE的风险和经济影响。在进行成本效益分析后，应将控制/根除计划纳入国家层面的政府政策。
