Hydatidosis is a parasitic zoonotic disease that negatively affects human and animal health and causes economic losses due to slaughter condemnation and risk to public health in developing countries. This study aims to determine the prevalence of Hydatidosis among slaughtered livestock in different regions of Turkey and calculate the financial losses associated with the zoonosis. For this purpose, livestock slaughter records from the livestock information system in 2020 were considered and direct and indirect economic losses were estimated. The study determined the prevalence of hydatidosis in small ruminants (0.03%) and cattle (0.0124%) and an average of 0.007% of the total number of livestock slaughtered during the period under study were infected with hydatid cysts. The direct and indirect economic losses were estimated at $98.558 and $466.891, respectively. The total monetary loss due to Hydatidosis in Turkey in the year 2020 was estimated at $565.448. In conclusion, significant monetary losses due to Hydatidosis in slaughtered livestock is still an important economic issue to livestock traders in Turkey.
包虫病是一种人畜共患寄生虫病，会对人类和动物健康产生负面影响，并因屠宰受限以及给发展中国家的公共卫生带来风险而造成经济损失。本研究旨在确定土耳其不同地区屠宰牲畜中包虫病的患病率，并计算与人畜共患病相关的经济损失。为此，研究考虑了2020年牲畜信息系统中的牲畜屠宰记录，并估算了直接和间接经济损失。该研究确定了小反刍动物（0.03%）和牛（0.0124%）的包虫病患病率，在所研究期间屠宰的牲畜总数中平均有0.007%感染了包虫囊肿。直接和间接经济损失分别估计为98558美元和466891美元。2020年土耳其因包虫病造成的总货币损失估计为565448美元。总之，屠宰牲畜因包虫病造成的重大货币损失对土耳其的牲畜贸易商来说仍然是一个重要的经济问题。
