Abstract

This study was performed in order to investigate the prevalence and the variations of some biochemical parameters in the serum and hydatid cyst fluids of camel, sheep and cattle infected with cystic forms of Echinococcus granulosus. The blood samples and hydatid cysts were collected from the animals slaughtered in Beni-Suef abattoir. The hydatid fluid and cystic germinal layer extracts were compared in these animals using Slap gel electrophoresis. The results indicated that the prevalence of hydatidosis was highest in camel (22%) followed by sheep (7.14%), and cattle (2.4%). The most affected organ was the lung in both camel and cattle where liver was most affected in sheep. The biochemical results indicated quantitative variations in the levels of total protein, AST, ALP, CPK enzymes, direct bilirubin, and magnesium in hydatid fluids. In addition to these parameters, there were also, quantitative variations in the levels of serum globulin, phosphorus and ALT.  Sheep and cattle isolates showed a similarity in the biochemical composition of hydatid cyst fluids and identical electrophoretic patterns in cystic protein of germinal layer which were differed markedly from those of camel. These results suggest the existence of sheep and camel strains in Egypt.
