Estimating the production losses due to cystic echinococcosis in ruminants in Turkey.

The aim of this study was to estimate the production losses due to cystic echinococcosis (CE) in cattle, sheep and goats in Turkey. For this purpose, official records and previously published data in the literature were used. The weighted mean prevalence rates of the disease were calculated to be 7.4% in cattle, 46.3% in sheep and 10.9% in goats. The financial losses were estimated in US

The results of this study may provide information to assist decisions of the policy makers in prioritising the allocation of scarce resources in controlling animal diseases in Turkey. However, alternative disease control-eradication programmes and cost-benefit analyses of them are needed for the future studies of this kind to provide better decision support in this area.

Economical impact of tropical theileriosis in the Cappadocia region of Turkey

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to calculate the economic losses during an outbreak of Simulium (Wilhelmia) spp. in the Cappadocia Region of Turkey. METHODS The economic costs associated with a 2006-2007 outbreak of Simulium (Wilhelmia) spp. in the Cappadocia region of Turkey were calculated by summing losses to the livestock (dairy) industry and tourism (hotels), plus ongoing control expenditures. RESULTS More than 2.000.000 domestic and foreign tourists, 60.000 animals, and the local population were disturbed by the flies. Tourism was the most affected sector from the Simulium outbreak. CONCLUSION The calculated cost of the outbreak according to 2013 prices was 10.626.966 TL (US
