Abstract

Hydatid cysts  disease is a common disease between humans and animals and is caused by the larval phase of the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus, which is endemic in Iraq and neighboring countries. Therefore, the current study aimed to find out the effect of cobalt oxide nanoparticles on the protoscolex of E. granulosus. Isolated from different hosts. The isolated protoscolex were incubated from the liver of sheep infected with aqueous bags with extracts prepared in different concentrations at different time intervals 60, 30, 15, 10, 5 minutes. As for the aqueous extract CO, it used concentrations of 0.100, 0.050, 0.025 mg / ml, where the treatment was shown in sheep livers with a concentration 0.100 mg/ ml with time 60 minutes and treatment with concentration 0.050 mg/ml with time 60 minutes Highest Kill Rate 96%, 100% In cattle livers, concentrations of 0.025, 0.050 mg/ml with a time of 60 minutes and concentrations of 0.100 mg/ml with a time of 60 and 30 showed the highest homicide rates of 95%, 98%, 100% and 92%, respectively. In goat livers, the concentration showed 0.025 mg/ml with 60 minutes, concentration 0.050 mg/ml with 30 and 60 minutes, and concentration 0.100 mg/ml with 30 and 60 minutes, with the highest homicide rates of 96%, 95%, 100%, 100%, 100%.
