dc.description.abstractApplication of ultrasonography in prevalence studies of hydatid cysts in goats in north-western Turkana, Kenya and Toposaland, southern Sudan. Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 67:251-255 A study was done to determine the prevalence of hydatid cysts in goats using ultrasonography. A total of 1 390 goats were examined, 43,6 % (606/1390) of them from north-weste_rn Tu_rkana, Keny:, and 56,4% (784/1390) from Toposaland, southern Sudan. Hydatid cysts were VISualized 1n 1,82 Yo (~ 1 I 606) of the goats from north-western Turkana and 4,34% (34/784) of those from Topo~aland. Unlike abattoir surveys, the prevalence data obtained in this study were unb1ased because ent1re flocks were examined. The lower prevalence rate of the disease in goats from Turkana was attnbuted to the hydatid disease control programme in that area, which is absent in Toposaland .en_US
