- Abstract
Hydatid cyst or Cystic Echinococcosis continues to be an important problem in terms of public health as well as animal health in regions with low socio-cultural level where preventive medicine cannot be fully performed. In this study, it is aimed to make an evaluation about the situation of the cattle slaughtered in the region by examining the lungs and livers of the cattle slaughtered in a private abottoir in Eskisehir in terms of hydatid cyst. For this purpose, 150 cattle cuts were observed and tissue samples were taken from 36 lungs and 21 livers of 46 animals due to suspicious cyst structure in macroscopic examinations. They were fixed in 10% buffered formalin solution for histopathology. After routine histopathology process, 5 micron sections were taken from paraffin blocks. Each section was stained according to the procedure with HE, MT and PAS stains, respectively. At the end of the research, hydatid cyst was determined in 26 of 150 cattle (17.33 %). At the organ level; The numbers of hydatid cyst seen in the lung is 22 (14.67%), in the liver is 10 (6.67%) and 6 (4%) both in the lung and liver. In microscopic examinations, protoscolex was also observed in 18.18% of hydatid cysts located in the lung and 20% of cysts located in the liver. As a result, 17.33% hydatid cyst was determined in the cattle slaughtered in slaughterhouse in Eskisehir. It is concluded the disease should be considered for public health in this region in terms of its zoonotic character.
