In: Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal 2014.v.60(141)Summary: The present investigation was conducted (during PM examination of the slaughtered carcasses) to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in identifying camels infected with hydatid cysts before slaughtering and to assess the prevalence of hydatidosis in camels sacrificed in Assuit Governorate. Hydatid cyst count and characterization were conducted based on routine meat inspection. Slaughterhouse samples of 200 camels were collected through weekly visits. Hydatid cysts in livers, lungs and kidneys were detected and counted, also the fertility rate of the cysts was examined. Out of these, 12 (6%) were found to harbor hydatid cyst, in livers 9(75%), lungs 2(17%) and kidney 1(8%).On the other side, fertile cysts 5(41.7%) were found more frequently in livers 4(33.3%) than in lungs 1(8.3%), while sterile cysts7(58.3%) found in livers, lungs and kidneys 5(41.7% ), 1(8.1) and 1(8.3%) respectively.
