Abstract |
: |
470 imported sheep (from Australia, Turkey, Somalia,
Rumania and the Sudan), 142 imported cattle (from Hungary, Rumania,
Bulgaria and U.S.A.), 5 imported camels (from Sudan) and 4050 indigenous
sheep( 2050 Najdi and 21XXH>a m) were examined during post-mortem
inspection at Jeddah abattoir for the presence of macroscopically discernible
parasites. Blood smears from the animals were also examined for protozoa.
The prevalence of hydatidosis amounted to 7.15% in Turkish sheep,
3.56% in Sudanese sheep, 0.28% in Australian sheep and 0.0% in other
animals. Fascioliasis was recorded at rates of 15.75% in Turkish sheep,
8.04% in Sudanese sheep, 1.8% in Somali sheep, 1.11% in Rumanian
sheep, 0.28% in Australian sheep and 4.22% in cattle. None of the imported
camels or indigenous sheep was infected with fascioliasis. Cysticercosis
prevalence was 1.62% in Turkish sheep, 1.14% in Sudanese sheep and
0.21 % in Australian sheep; other animals were not infected. Nasopharyngeal
myiasis was recorded in 3 of the 5 camels. Blood films showed
few positive cases of Theileia ovis; no other blood parasites were observed. |
