Overview

Cross-sectional study shows high prevalence of hydatidosis in camels, indicating significant health risks.

Key Points

  • Overall prevalence of hydatidosis in camels was 53.6%, showing serious public health implications.
  • Infection rates were significantly higher in females (64.5%) and older camels (>10 years; 57.7%).
  • Statistically significant associations were found between hydatidosis and factors like sex, age, and body condition.
  • High infection rates in organs like lungs (60.7%) and liver (34.4%) suggest effective targeted control strategies are needed.
