contents <p>One hundred and five stray male and female dogs in different age groups were autopsied and their small intestines examined for <em>Echinococcus granulosus</em>. Thirty eight dogs (36.19%) harbored two-to-several thousand <em>E. granulosus </em>in their intestinal content. The prevalence rate was higher in males (44.83%) than in females (25.53%). Livers and lungs of 3245 sheep, 2576 goats, 756 cattle and 25 buffaloes slaughtered for meat purposes at different Shiraz slaughterhouses were examined for hydatidosis: 2.09% of livers and 2.68% of lungs of sheep, 2.17% and 2.36% of goats, 4.49% and 6.48% of cattle and 4% and 8% of buffaloes, respectively, were infected.</p>
