Keywords:
tape worm, metacestoda, caprine, ovine, IraqAbstract
Cysticercus tenuicollis larval stage of dog’s parasite Taenia hydatigena located in visceral organs of intermediate hosts (sheep and goats). In this study, the total of 100 sheep and 100 goats’ visceral organs were inspected, C. tenuicollis was found in sheep was 21% (21/100); while the rate of infection was 35% in goats (35/100). According to the months of the study, the high rate in sheep was revealed in July, June, and August, 40% (4/10), 30% (3/10), and 25% (5/25) respectively; while the lowest rate was 10% (1/10) was recorded in January, March, April while in goats the lowest rate in March, February, and April was 20% (2/10), 30% (3/10), 30% (3/10) respectively, the rest of the months was 40% (4/10). In sheep, the highest infection rate with C. tenuicollis was 21.42% (18/84) in sheep males while the lowest rate was 18.75% (3/16) in sheep females while in goats the highest infection rate with C. tenuicollis was 35% (35/100) in males and lowest in female 0% (0).
