2020, Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and ReportsCitation Excerpt :The sheep older than 3 years had a significantly higher Infection rate than sheep under 3 years this in agreement with (Omar et al., 2016; Singh et al., 2015; Wondimu et al., 2011; Woynshet, 2008) this might be owing to older sheep are in more contact with eggs from dogs outside the animal houses while young sheep are kept inside the houses (Wondimu et al., 2011). In this study, females had a higher infection rate than males, but non-significantly different and this is in consistence with other studies (Mekuria et al., 2013; Mirzaei and Rezaei, 2015) while the female had a significantly higher infection rates in other studies (Khanjari et al., 2015; Omar et al., 2016; Oryan et al., 1994). The higher infection of females might be attributed to their use in breeding purposes for a longer time (Mirzaei and Rezaei, 2015) than males which usually slaughtered earlier.

2019, Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and ReportsCitation Excerpt :Coenurosis or Gid is a parasitic disease caused by the larval/metacestode stage of tapeworm Taenia multiceps (Cestoda, Taeniidae) commonly called Coenurus cerebralis (Rostami et al., 2013). The metacestode affects sheep and goats throughout the world (Sadarnashipur and Lalgola, 1991; Oryan et al., 2010) and causes severe enormous economic losses (Oryan et al., 1994, 2014; Deressa et al., 2012). The adult parasite inhabits the small intestine of domestic and wild canids (Hall, 1919; Varcasia et al., 2015), which excrete the eggs in pasture through their faeces.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of metacestodes prevalence in small ruminants in Ethiopia
2016, Preventive Veterinary MedicineCitation Excerpt :Cysticercus tenuicollis was the most common metacestode reported (31.2%) whereas the other metacestodes were less prevalent. Similarly, a study conducted in Fars province of Iran found that the prevalence of metacestodes in sheep ranges from less than 1% to over 28% (Oryan et al., 1994). Similar to the finding of this systematic review, the same study indicated that C. tenuicollis and cystic echinococcosis are more common followed by C. cerebralis.
