The current cross\u2010sectional population\u2010based study is aimed at determining the seroprevalence of CE in Kavar County, Fars province, southern Iran. Blood samples were collected from 1500 individuals (749 males and 751 females). Anti\u2010hydatid cyst antibodies were detected, using a recombinant B8\/1 antigen of <jats:italic>Echinococcus graunlosus<\/jats:italic> in an ELISA system. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to find out the independent risk factor for CE seropositivity. Anti\u2010hydatid cyst antibodies were detected in the sera of 131 out of 1500 participants, corresponding to a seroprevalence rate of 8.73%. With a statistically significant difference (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05), the seroprevalence of hydatid cyst in males and females was 5% and 7%, respectively. Differences in the seropositivity of hydatid cysts were also statistically significant by occupation (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). The seroprevalence of hydatid cyst was significantly higher in the age group of 35\u201045 years than in other age groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that only age was associated with seropositivity to CE (OR = 2.23, 95% CI: 1.33\u20103.72). Moreover, there was a statistically significant association between seropositivity to hydatid cysts and underlying diseases such as hypertension (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.049) and fatty liver (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.048). 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\u2019s jobs and lifestyles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/3709694","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,5]],"date-time":"2022-09-05T22:20:10Z","timestamp":1662416410000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Serosurvey of Cystic Echinococcosis and Related Risk Factors for Infection in Fars Province, Southern Iran: A Population\u2010Based Study"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9880-0043","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali Reza","family":"Safarpour","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5065-5249","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mostafa","family":"Omidian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8775-5374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Pouryousef","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6160-0403","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad Reza","family":"Fattahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2045-9057","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bahador","family":"Sarkari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022149X17000463"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_2","volume-title":"Screening of Cystic Echinococcosis and Toxocariasis in Urmia Municipal Workers","author":"Asadi N.","year":"2020"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cegh.2019.03.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.parepi.2016.12.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0001915"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1863-2378.2011.01407.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_2","first-page":"111","article-title":"Immunodiagnostic value of Echinococcus granulosus recombinant B8\/1 subunit of antigen B","volume":"14","author":"Savardashtaki A.","year":"2017","journal-title":"Iranian Journal of Immunology"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.17.1.107-135.2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.parint.2005.11.028"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v18.i13.1425"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2008.03.037"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1863-2378.2008.01200.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s41182-020-00238-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15321819.2018.1547974"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_2","first-page":"41","article-title":"Human cystic echinococcosis in nomads of south-West Islamic Republic of Iran","volume":"13","author":"Rafiei A.","year":"2007","journal-title":"EMHJ-Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/1119-3077.110156"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_2","article-title":"Seroepidemiological survey of human hydatid cyst in the city population of Kermanshah Province, Proceedings of national congress on hydatid cyst","volume":"12","author":"Amiri Z.","year":"2007","journal-title":"In Proceedings of national congress on hydatid cyst, Yasuj, Iran (Abstract).
