Overview

Randomized trial reveals high prevalence of coenurosis in sheep, highlighting need for improved health measures.

Key Points

  • The research aims to determine the prevalence of cœnurosis in sheep in Kenitra and its relationship with various risk factors.
  • Study conducted on 687 sheep from multiple locations with extensive and intensive farming methods.
  • Post-mortem examinations were performed on sheep with neurological signs to collect cysts for analysis.
  • A database was created to determine prevalence and identify risk factors for cœnurosis.
  • 12.37% of examined sheep had cœnurosis cysts containing protoscolices.
  • Positive relationship found between T. multiceps prevalence, age, and farming systems; no association with sex or season.
  • Link identified between T. multiceps infection in dogs and cœnurosis in sheep.
