        Common human and animal parasitic diseases encompass a wide range of zoonotic diseases, the most important of which are liver hydatid cysts and trematodes, which are of great economic and economic importance. This study was conducted through slaughterhouse and slaughter inspection as well as post-slaughter visit data over four seasons on 58642 slaughtered animals including 15340 sheep, 6239 cattle and 37063 goats. In this study the incidence of Fasciola infection in cattle 3.1%, sheep 1.5%, goat 0.9%, prevalence of liver hydatid cyst infection in 1.2%, sheep 2%, goat 1.1% and prevalence of hydatid cyst infection in cow 3.5 %, Sheep 4.9% and goat 2.7%. This study shows that the prevalence of the above parasites is relatively high, which in addition to imposing economic losses due to livestock losses and the capture of infected carcasses or limbs, as well as reducing livestock production, indicate the existence of health hazards for the inhabitants of the area. Due to the life cycle and transmission of these parasites, they require more comprehensive and comprehensive health and control measures. Manuscript profile
