Hydatidosis or cystic echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most common zoonosis diseases. Iran is one of the endemic regions in terms of this disease. For the first time, the present study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of hydatid cyst in Zahedan rural areas due to the importance of human CE and lack of information in this region. The present study was performed on 551 people referred to seven rural health centers in Zahedan during 2019-2020. Serum samples were collected and analyzed by indirect ELISA method using recombinant antigen B subunit B8/1. Results were analyzed by SPSS (version 22) software and Chi-square test. The CE seroprevalence was 4%. The most positive cases were in the age group of 10-30 years. The highest infection was reported in homemakers. A significant relationship (P-value<0.05) was only reported between the seropositivity to hydatid cyst and the presence of dogs in the environment. The present study's findings indicated human hydatid cyst in rural areas of Zahedan is a health problem; moreover, the control and prevention principles and analysis of various epidemiological aspects of this disease should be considered.
包虫病或囊型棘球蚴病（CE）是最常见的人畜共患病之一。伊朗是该病的流行地区之一。鉴于人类囊型棘球蚴病的重要性以及该地区缺乏相关信息，本研究首次在扎黑丹农村地区开展，以确定包虫囊肿的血清流行率。本研究于2019 - 2020年对转诊至扎黑丹七个农村卫生中心的551人进行。采集血清样本，采用重组抗原B亚基B8/1通过间接ELISA法进行分析。结果用SPSS（版本22）软件和卡方检验进行分析。囊型棘球蚴病的血清流行率为4%。阳性病例最多的是10 - 30岁年龄组。家庭主妇的感染率最高。仅在包虫囊肿血清阳性与环境中存在犬类之间报告了显著关系（P值<0.05）。本研究结果表明，扎黑丹农村地区的人类包虫囊肿是一个健康问题；此外，应考虑该病的控制和预防原则以及对其各种流行病学方面的分析。
