| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Background: Hydatidosis is a leading zoonotic parasitic diseases that cause economic losses and public health concerns worldwide. The current study aimed to determine the seroepidemiological status of Hydatid cyst (HC) and assess the relationship between risk factors and this disease in high-risk individuals in Gonabd city.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in Gonabad health centers within 2018-2019. Sampling was done using the census method. A total of 393 serum samples were collected from 259 males and 134 females at-risk for HC. A questionnaire was prepared for all participants. Demographic information such as gender, age, place of residence, education level, participation of children in animal husbandry, the way of washing vegetables, and work experience in animal husbandry were recorded. The levels of IgG antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: The infection rate was 9.7% for males and 10% for females, showing no significant correlation between gender and Hydatidosis. Among the affected population, undergraduates had a prevalence rate of 10.4%, while the 20-30 age group had a higher rate of 16.3%. Additionally, individuals with less than ten years of experience in animal husbandry had a prevalence rate of 11.7%. Those who had contact with dogs had a prevalence rate of 7.9%, whereas individuals who did not use disinfectants to wash vegetables had a higher rate of 12%.
Conclusion: This study highlights the significant prevalence of hydatid cysts in at-risk individuals. This indicates the need for effective preventive measures to reduce the burden of infection. The recommendations include washing vegetables with disinfectants to eliminate any potential sources of contamination. Additionally, obtaining identification certificates for livestock dogs and collecting stray dogs can help control the spread of the disease. It is important to implement a comprehensive public health strategy to address this issue effectively. |
