The role of native domestic animals in the dissemination of Echinococcus infection among dogs in the State of Kuwait
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2009
Abstract
Infection with hydatid cysts of domestic animals slaughtered by private individuals and at the Government Central Slaughterhouse is recorded. Both fertile and non-fertile cysts were seen in the infected animals. The home slaughtered sheep seems to play an important role in the dissemination of the parasite and the life cycle of Echinococcus granulosus in the State of Kuwait is assumed to be sheep—dog—sheep.
