Quantitative variations in the levels of sodium, potassium, calcium, cholesterol, glucose, urea, creatinine and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (γGT) were found in the cystic fluids of different host origins although these differences were statistically insignificant compared with the hydatid fluids of sheep. However, the concentration of triglycerides and proteins were significantly elevated in the cyst fluids of sheep compared with the other fluids studied. Similarities in the biochemical composition of different hydatid cyst fluids suggest the existence of sheep strains of E. granulosus in human and other domestic animal intermediate hosts in Libya.
