Two thousand two hundred and forty-six sheep, 510 goats and 35 dromedaries were examined for hydatid cysts. The mean prevalence was 0.7% (range 0.4-38.5%) in sheep, 1.4% (range 0.2-7.7%) in goats and 80% in dromedaries. The increase in prevalence with age of the animals was statistically significant in sheep only. In all species examined infection of the lungs was more common and important than that of the livers. The fertility rate of hydatids was 50% in sheep and 67.8% in dromedaries; and degenerative changes were shown by 65.8% of hydatids from dromedaries as compared to 16.3% in sheep. Dromedaries seem to play an important role in the epidemiology of hydatidosis in Morocco.
对2246只绵羊、510只山羊和35峰单峰骆驼进行了包虫囊肿检查。绵羊的平均患病率为0.7%（范围0.4 - 38.5%），山羊为1.4%（范围0.2 - 7.7%），单峰骆驼为80%。仅在绵羊中，动物患病率随年龄增长具有统计学意义。在所有检查的物种中，肺部感染比肝脏感染更常见且更重要。绵羊包虫的繁殖率为50%，单峰骆驼为67.8%；单峰骆驼的包虫有65.8%出现退行性变化，而绵羊为16.3%。单峰骆驼似乎在摩洛哥包虫病的流行病学中起重要作用。
