In addition, hydatidosis was detected in lung and liver of 0.038 and 0.096% of cattle carcasses; 3.4 and 1.03% of camel carcasses, respectively, while was not detected in the examined buffalo samples. Annual values of financial losses because of the condemned affected parts summed total of 11712.5, 32940.0 and 2410 LE due to fascioliasis, cysticercosis and hydatidosis, respectively along the investigation period (2017 and 2018). Referring to the obtained results, records of 2017 appeared to be more infection prevalent than 2018 with more financial losses, moreover, fascioliasis was the most prominent affection in the present study.
