Hydatid disease in Wales: 2. Eradication.

M J Clarkson

    The Veterinary Record
    |March 25, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hydatid disease is a significant concern in Wales, particularly in Powys. An area eradication scheme for hydatid disease in Wales should be investigated to reduce losses in livestock.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary epidemiology
    • Public health
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Hydatid disease poses a significant threat to both human and animal health in Britain, with a notable prevalence in Wales.
    • The disease impacts livestock, leading to economic losses through offal condemnation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the importance and prevalence of hydatid disease in Britain, focusing on Wales.
    • To estimate economic losses associated with hydatid disease in sheep and cattle.
    • To propose an area eradication scheme for hydatid disease in Wales.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature and data on hydatid disease in Britain.
    • Analysis of hospital records and serological findings to estimate disease rates in Wales.
    • Economic assessment of losses due to offal condemnation in livestock.

    Main Results:

    • Hydatid disease is endemic in Wales, with the highest incidence observed in the rural population of Powys.
    • Economic losses from offal condemnation in sheep and cattle are estimated to be at least £250,000.
    • Serological findings and hospital records indicate a high prevalence in specific regions.

    Conclusions:

    • The study highlights the substantial impact of hydatid disease on livestock and public health in Wales.
    • Investigating the feasibility of an area eradication scheme is recommended to control and eliminate the disease.
    • The proposed scheme outlines potential strategies for hydatid disease control in Wales.
