Abstract
In the 500 cattles examined, 90 (18%) had hydatid cysts in one or more organs whereas only 12(2.4%) goats, out of 500 had the disease. This is considered to be due to shorter period of longevity and age of slaughter of goats compared to catte. Since dog is an important definitive host responsible for the spread of echinococcosis, a survey on the incidence of hydatid cyst in dogs is necessary from public health point of view.
