Abstract
A comparative study on the biochemical parameters in hydatid cyst fluids of sheep, goat, camel, cattle and human cystic forms of Echinococcus granulosus has been made in Iran. Quantitative variations in the levels of glucose, calcium and creatinine in the cystic fluids of camels were found with hydatid fluids of sheep, goat, cattle and humans. These differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Similarities in the biochemical composition in hydatid cyst fluids of sheep, goat, cattle and humans suggest the existence of sheep strains of E. granulosus and differences in the biochemical composition in hydatid cyst fluids of camel with other domestic animals and humans suggest the existence of camel strains of E. granulosus in Iran.
