REPORT ON THE SITUATION OF EPIDEMIOLOGY IN ALGERIA FROM HYDATIDOSIS (2007-2010)
Abstract
Objective: This study is evaluated the dynamics of echinococcosis in Algeria during four years of research, thus we have carried out inspections at slaughterhouses wilaya of 19 around the country (North, South, East, West) in the objective of a national survey of hydatid disease. Materials and methods: the means of realizing this work was difficult for distant regions, to properly accomplish our inspection we used the method of communication by the Internet or by administrative requests sent to veterinary inspectors of these regions to have a monthly and annual cases of hydatidosis, whereas for the region closest we conducted ourselves control carcasses and organs in place with the help of several colleagues. after all we recorded post-mortem cases of hydatid cyst in the affected organs, with the total number of animals slaughtered per day, and can lead to monthly and annual number of cases found and finally calculates the prevalence and traced the growth curve or decrease each year. Results: Our results show variations over the growing prevalence, we observed for bovine hydatid cyst in liver and lung average values (95.16% -96.16%) respectively in the Algiers Constantine during the four years. for sheep we mean prevalence for liver and lung (96.14% - 94.84%) respectively in the regions of Ourgla and Ghardaia, whereas the goats we in the same order (90 , 01% - 82.98%) respectively in the regions of Bejaia and Tipaza. Conclusion: The data obtained in this work leading us to conclude that Echinococcosis remains rife in an endemic state in Algeria, and its growth curve does not cease to grow in many parts of the Algerian territory, despite the system established by the state therefore it should be given bottom to achieve the definitive host in a responsible way with technical decisive to achieve beneficial results even with the use of modern diagnostic tools for this disease early and to protect human health .The papers published in the journal are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License, which permits unrestricted, non-commercial use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the work is properly cited.
