Abstract

Each of 4 main objects that ensures the prevalence of the Echinococcus granulosus between humans and ruminants has been defined by the prevention methods of the prevalence of Echinococcus granulosus evaluating by the mathematical model. It has been defined that the emergence of the butchers without the direct supervision of veterinarians affects the prevalence of the Echinococcus granulosus. As seen in the solution of the mathematical module, when the illegal meat cutting places were removed, the infection of the stray dogs with the Echinococcus granulosus is reduced. As a result, the infection of the Echinococcus granulosus to the people and ruminants through  stray dogs was ended. To eliminate the infection of the Echinococcus granulosus, meat cutting places should be removed and preventing the stray dogs eating the infected innards which leads to infection with the Echinococcus granulosus. Life cycle of E.granulosus should be controlled to decrease the creation of uncontrolled meat cutting places and minimising its impact over human activity.
