[PDF] Seroprevalence of Human Hydatidosis Using ELISA Method in Qom Province, Central Iran | Semantic Scholar (2024)

Because of the specific situation of Alborz Province, and availability of many stray dogs, obtained rate of hydatidosis shows that the authorities should be cautious to monitor the disease.

The rate of prevalence in Isfahan City and suburb areas, central Iran showed that necessary cautions should be taken into account to monitor the spread of human hydatidosis in this region.

The rate of prevalence in Arak City, Markazi Province central Iran shows more or less the same range with other cities of Iran, which might assist the policy makers to take sanitary measures to control the disease.

The first description of the seroprevalence of E. granulosus infection in the population in Ardabil Province, North-West of Iran is described, approving the importance of diagnosing human cystic echinococcosis in these regions and it is expected that the authorities be careful to screen the disease.

The findings of this study indicate that the seroprevalence rate of CE is relatively high in the Fars province, southern Iran, and this high rate of infection is mainly linked to people's jobs and lifestyles.

The prevalence of human hydatidosis shows approximately the same range as other regions of Iran, although due to the neighboring the Mazandaran Province reported as the highest seroprevalence, the authors expected more rate of seropositivity.

Since all the seropositive cases used unwashed local vegetables, the contamination may occur through the consumption of such vegetables.

The results of this study showed that the seroprevalence of hydatidosis was significant in Arak, Iran, and it is necessary to adopt health measures to control and prevent this parasitic infection.

This study showed that the seroprevalence among the nomadic population of Aligoudarz and Sepiddasht was considerable and increased awareness of nomads in understanding the transmission ways of disease is suggested through health education programs according to the educational level of the target population, the majority of whom are illiterate.

The serological study showed that many people, especially women, had been exposed to Echinococcus eggs and had seroconverted but were not infected, and management of stray dog population could make major progress in control of hydatid disease.

Sero-prevalence of hydatidosis in Meshkinshahr, Ardabil Province, northwestern Iran shows more or less a resemblance to other cities of Iran, although due to the specific condition of the city the authors expected more rate of sero-positivity.

The results confirm that CE is endemic in Hamedan province and indicate that certain occupations (housewife, farmer and labourer) and/or rural life are risk factors.

The situation of the hydatidosis in the livestock and human and echinococcosis inThe carnivores of the Kashan is similar to the other zones in Iran.

Investigation of the prevalence of human CE among nomadic communities in 4 areas of Khuzestan province found no significant association between CE seropositivity and age, sex and dog ownership.

The new ELISA system using native antigen B is a suitable method and preferable to CCIEP for immunodiagnosis of human hydatidosis and the current countercurrent immunoelectrophresis is more sensitive in detecting anti hyd atid cyst antibody.

Molecular analyses clearly indicate that the camel/dog strain of E. granulosus as well as the cosmopolitan, common sheep strain (G1 genotype) occurs in Iran, a wide variety of livestock including sheep, cattle, goat, camel and buffalo also harbor the disease.

There appears to have been a generally downward trend in the incidence of intestinal helminthiases in Iran over the last decade, and problems in accurate diagnosis have prevented good estimates of the general prevalence of this nematode infection.

AgB-ELISA as well as 8/12-, 16-kDa immunoblot can be convenient in specific and confirmatory diagnosis of CHD.
