“…Based on routine carcass inspection, the infection rate of bovine cysticercosis is often around 30–60% in developing countries ( Minozzo et al, 2002 ). The organs and tissues most commonly affected and condemned due to C. bovis are the heart, tongue, diaphragm and muscles of the jaw ( Dorny et al, 2000 ; Maed et al, 1996 ). Besides human-animal health risk, high prevalence in Sub-Saharan Africa, causes an important economic loss due to partial or total condemnation of infected carcasses ( Wayne et al, 2002 ; Tegegne et al, 2018 ), refrigeration and downgrading of infected carcasses ( Fan, 1997 ) and the cost of drug for human treatment ( Tegegne et al, 2018 ; Abunna, 2013 ).…”

A metacestode stage (bovine cysticercosis) and adult stage Taenia saginata, accounted for zoonotic and economic losses from organ contamination and treatment cost. The objective of this paper is to assess the spatiotemporal distribution and economic loss from bovine cysticercosis and human taeniasis with treatment approach in different parts of Ethiopia. All available published research articles from Ethiopia on the disease were collected. The data were assessed using the current regional administrative, the locality and chronology of the reports for prevalence and economic loss with treatment trend. Prevalence ranging from 1.9% at Addis Ababa City to as high as of 26.3% Hawasa-SNNPR using postmortem examination. However, one study confirmed 92.7% of 41 isolates as bovine cysticercosis using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Teaniasis was ranged from 7.8% in Modjo-Oromia to as high as 89.4% in Addis Ababa City. Except for 17.9% at Addis Ababa City, 29.0% at Mekele-Tigray and 19.0% at Halaba Kulito –SNNPR teaniasis in Ethiopia were greater than 30% over 2001–2018 years. Questionnaire survey and retrospective data were the major tools used for teaniasis reporting either pharmaceutical and/or traditional (herbs) medicines were used for teaniasis treatments. Niclosamide, mebendazole and praziquantel were pharmaceutical teaniacidal drugs used in Ethiopia until the years of 2009, uses of albendazole begins from 2011 to date (2018 year). Hagenica abyssinia “Kosso/Heto” flowers is still widely used in Ethiopia in that it contains Kosso-toxin, closely related to folic acid, are responsible for some cases of hepatic carcinoma and blindness. Only few data (reports) were available on spatiotemporal economic loss associated with bovine cysticercosis and Taenia saginata in Ethiopia showing an overall 4,052,278.16 ETB (212,202.76 USD) from five reports. Highest economic loss (88,500.00 USD) was registered at Yirgalem-SNNPR [2005–2009]. Study at Kombolcha-Amhara region during 2016 accounted 1,841,311.00ETB (73,652.44 USD) from C. bovis and teaniasis treatment cost. Total cost for the used pharmaceutical drugs accounted 921,112.00ETB over 2005–2016. The maximum drug expenditure was reported during the year 2013. Thus, bovine cysticercosis and Taenia saginata in Ethiopia indicating the health and economic challenges. It needs to Taenia saginata cycle interruption via stopping human open defecation with assessing the dynamics of the disease in the country.

“…On the other hand, the morphology of the lesion (viable or dead) had no influence on the detection rate at the routine or additional meat inspection, unlike earlier experiences (Geerts et al, 1980). Several reports on the distribution pattern (occurrence and density) of cysticerci, either in experimentally infected animals or in animals originating from highly endemic regions point to the heart as an appropriate inspection site for the detection of T. saginata cysticerci in cattle (Juranek et al,1976;Kyvsgaard et al,1990;Maeda et al, 1996;Pugh & Chambers, 1989;Scandrett et al, 2009). Comparably, in Belgium 25% measly cattle have been detected by total heart dissection of 100 inspected carcasses (Geerts et al,1980).…”

“…Cattle are infected by ingestion of tapeworm eggs of human origin. Taenia saginata cysticerci are located mainly in muscle tissues with high metabolic activity, in particular diverse skeletal and the heart muscles (Maeda, Kyvsgaard, Nansen, & Bøgh, 1996). The cheek and heart muscles are frequently infected sites and hence are targeted during meat inspection (Dewhirst et al, 1967;Geerts et al, 1980;Juranek, Forbes, & Keller, 1976;Kyvsgaard, Ilsoe, Henriksen, & Nansen, 1990;Lopes et al, in press;Maeda et al, 1996;Pugh & Chambers, 1989;Scandrett et al, 2009).…”

Bovine cysticercosis, a disease caused by larvae of the human intestinal cestod, Teania saginata, is one of the major parasitic diseases that have significant impact on the health of animals and on the economy by carcass and organ condemnation. The life cycle of the parasite pertains between animals and humans. Cattle act as an intermediate host; while man is a definitive host. The disease has worldwide distribution and transmitted to humans mainly by ingestion of raw uncooked meat. The faecal-oral route highly contributes for the parasite to infect cattle from ingestion of contaminated pasture with infected human stool. The lungs, heart, liver, tongue, shoulder muscle, masseter muscle and diaphragm are the predilection sites for the parasite. Eating of cooked meat and proper hygienic practices should be incorporated in the prevention and control of the disease.
