ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to investigate the seropositivity of hydatidosis in a group of cattle with and without eosinophilia. Of the 597 cattle, 79 (13.2%) were found to have eosinophilia with absolute eosinophilic counts. Out of 79 cattle, 62 (78.4%) and 48 (60.7%) were found to be positive for hydatidosis by ELISA and IFAT, respectively. Out of 79 cattle without eosinophilia, 38 (48.1%) were found to be seropositive by ELISA and 34 (43.1%) by IFAT. Our data indicated that seropositivity of hydatidosis in cattle with eosinophilia was higher than the group without eosinophilia and it will be useful to investigate livestock with eosinophilia for hydatidosis.

Keywords: Eosinophilic cattle, hydatidosis, ELISA, IFAT
