Ultrasound examination of the liver and right lung was performed in 260 sheep and 320 goats from the Turkana district of Kenya. Hydatid cysts were visualized in 9.2% of the sheep and 2.5% of the goats. Of the animals positive on ultrasound, 87.5% received post-mortem examinations. Eighteen (6.9%) sheep and 5 (1.5%) goats were positive for hydatid cysts on ultrasound and post-mortem examination. False-positives were a result of Taenia hydatigena cysticerci present in the liver in all but 1 case. Positive predictive value of ultrasound for diagnosis of hydatidosis in sheep and goats was 82.1%.
对肯尼亚图尔卡纳地区的260只绵羊和320只山羊进行了肝脏和右肺的超声检查。在9.2%的绵羊和2.5%的山羊中发现了包虫囊肿。超声检查呈阳性的动物中，87.5%接受了尸检。在超声检查和尸检中，18只（6.9%）绵羊和5只（1.5%）山羊的包虫囊肿呈阳性。除1例以外，假阳性结果均是由肝脏中存在的泡状带绦虫囊尾蚴导致的。超声诊断绵羊和山羊包虫病的阳性预测值为82.1%。
