In addition, 367 sheep and 184 goats were examined. The overall prevalence of infection with CE was 48% in camels, 15.8% in sheep and 3.8% in goats. The infection rate, number and size of cysts were significantly higher in older camels. In six city abattoirs across northern Libya, i.e. Zawia, Tripoli, ElKhumes, Mesurata, Sirt and Benghazi, the prevalence rate of infection in camels ranged from 38.7% to 55.2%, in comparison with sheep and goat rates which were between 0% and 37.9% and 0% and 8.2%, respectively. In camels, the lungs were the most frequently infected organs (85.4%) with liver cysts occurring at a significantly lower rate (33%). In contrast, the liver was the predominant infected site with prevalence values of 86% and 100% in sheep and goats, respectively. More than 90% of camel hydatid cysts were fertile. The possible role of camels in the transmission of CE in Libya is discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x00000936","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]],"date-time":"2009-06-05T10:56:20Z","timestamp":1244199380000},"page":"27-31","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Prevalence of cystic echinococcosis in camels (\n                    <i>Camelus dromedarius<\/i>\n                    ) in Libya"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"M.M.","family":"Ibrahem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.S.","family":"Craig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X00000936_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02355879"},{"key":"S0022149X00000936_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00034983.1990.11812497"},{"key":"S0022149X00000936_ref011","first-page":"333","volume-title":"Echinococcus and hydatid disease","author":"Gemmell","year":"1995"},{"key":"S0022149X00000936_ref004","first-page":"345","volume-title":"Compendium on cystic echinococcosis in Africa and in Middle Eastern countries with special reference to Morocco","author":"Anderson","year":"1997"},{"key":"S0022149X00000936_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0065-308X(08)60035-4"},{"key":"S0022149X00000936_ref023","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Shambesh M.K. , Craig P.S. , Macpherson C.N.L. , Rogan M.T. , Gusbi A.M. & Echtuish E.F. , (1998) An extensive mass ultrasound and serological study to investigate the prevalence of human cystic echinococcosis in northern Libya.
