Table 2.

Distribution of observed CE cysts based on organ localization, lesional aspect, and number of CE cysts in infected animals.

		Sheep		Cattle		Chi-square, p-value
		Number	%	Number	%
Organ	Lungs	241	11.82% a	54	12.41% a	χ2 = 3.35, p = 0.187
	Liver	602	29.53% b	146	33.56% b
	Liver-lung complex	1,195	58.63% c	235	54.02% c
Lesional aspects of observed CE cysts N = 14,382	Active	1,210	10.66% a	453	14.91% a	χ2 = 45.023, p < 0.001
	Caseous	3,361	29.62% b	903	29.72% b
	Aborted	6,773	59.70% c	1,682	55.36% c
Number of CE cysts per organ in animals	1	288	14.13% a	62	14.25% a	χ2 = 0.576, p = 0.749
	2–10	1,231	60.40% b	255	58.62% b
	>10	519	25.46% c	118	27.12% c

Letters (a, b, c) indicate statistically significant differences between proportions in the respective columns (Z-test, p < 0.05).

Groups within each item sharing different letters are significantly different. Chi-2 significance was set at < 0.05.
