Abstract
Background and Aim: Hydatid cyst disease is caused by Echinococcus species and is considered one of the common infections between humans and animals in our country. This hydatid cyst disease has been known as a threat to the economy and public health of society directly and indirectly by reducing the meat production process in livestock farms and the sheep industry. Calendula plant is anthelmintic of the digestive tract and has antiparasitic effects against Toxoplasma gondii and Welishmania panamensis. This study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of the addition of a marigold plant in killing Echinococcus granulosus in sheep with hydatid cysts. The treatment of hydatid cysts includes drug treatment, surgery, or a combination of both, but one of the major challenges of hydatidosis treatment during surgery is to eliminate Protoscolexes of hydatid cysts to prevent recurrence of the disease. For this purpose, it is necessary to obtain effective scoliosis compounds with low side effects. This study was conducted in order to evaluate the scolex effect of the Shahnaz plant in sheep suffering from hydatid cysts. This study was conducted in order to increase the general health of the society against hydatid cyst disease by adding the Shahnaz plant to the diet of sheep suffering from hydatid cysts. .
Methods: In this study, 10 grams of dried St. John's wort plant powder was added to the diet of 15 one-year-old male Kermani sheep (treatment group) for 2 months. The control group (number of 15 heads) did not receive any special drugs or additives. After two months, the sheep were transferred to the slaughterhouse and after slaughtering and evacuating the intestines and viscera, the carcasses and organs were inspected for hydatid cysts. Then, the livers of sheep infected with hydatid cysts were isolated and the fluid of the cysts containing living protoscolexes was aspirated under sterile conditions. Then, in the next step, in the laboratory, the percentage of protoscolex viability was evaluated with the help of eosin vital staining (one gram of eosin powder in 1000 cc of distilled water) under a light microscope.
Results: After analyzing the statistical results, it was determined that the number of living Protoscolex in sheep fed with the Shahnaz flower plant is significantly less compared to the control group, and the addition of the Shahnaz flower powder is effective in killing Protoscolex and the difference between The treatment group fed with Shahnaz flower powder and the control group are significant.
Conclusion: The therapeutic effects of the Shahnaz plant in killing hydatid cyst protoscolexes are due to the presence of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, xantho-neha, tannins, phloroglucinol, and naphthodientros (hypercin, pseudohypercin, protopesudohypercin, and protohypercin) present in this plant. A recent study shows that Potentially, the oral consumption of Shahnaz flower plant in humans can also act as an anti-hydatid cyst agent, and its oral consumption along with surgery can bring good results and prevent the recurrence of the disease.
