“…A similarity can be observed comparing the prevalence assessed in this study with those reported in other countries, such as Iran (0·25%) (Khaniki et al 2010), Chile (0·58%) (Faustina et al 2012) and European countries (<1%) (Laranjo-González et al 2016). The no-detection of bovine cysticercosis in animals slaughtered from two municipalities does not mean a real absence of this disease at these areas due to the low sensitivity of the ongoing model of meat inspection and the practice of slaughter without inspection (illegal), which remains occurring in this state (Lopes et al 2011).…”

S U M M A R YThis study aimed to assess the prevalence and spatial distribution of bovine cysticercosis in the state of Goiás, Brazil; to verify its association with epidemiological variables, and to establish the economical losses for beef farms. A set of 23 255 979 bovines from 246 municipalities were slaughtered from 2007 through 2014. The prevalence of bovine cysticercosis was 0·53% [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0·5295-0·5354]. The Central mesoregion showed a higher risk [odds ratio (OR) = 4·44; 95% CI 4·2936-4·5895] for detecting infected animals with cysticerci compared with those raised at North and Northeast mesoregion (OR = 1·02 and OR = 1·02). The microregion of Goiânia had a higher risk for bovine cysticercosis occurrence (OR = 11·05, 95% CI 10·6933-11·4099) compared with the microregion of São Miguel do Araguaia (OR = 1). None of the epidemiological variables evaluated in this study was significantly associated (P > 0·05) with bovine cysticercosis prevalence.In conclusion, the prevalence of bovine cysticercosis in the state of Goiás, Brazil, was 0·53% and some mesoregions and microregions presented a higher risk for its occurrence. The economical losses due to its occurrence during the period ranged from US$9 260 728·57 to 11 313 816·67. These results highlighted the needs of adopting prophylactic measures and the development of political strategies in specific regions in order to control this zoonose and reduce the economical losses for beef production chain and the costs for public health.

“…However, it is important to mention that only a few EU countries submit reports to the World Animal Health Organisation, thus the statistical data are not representative enough to draw any kind of conclusions about the distribution of this disease in Europe. It is well known that teniasis and cysticercosis are the most important problem of the public health in African .... and Asian countries (Kebede, 2008;Qadeer, 2008;Kebede et al, 2009;Rabi'u & Jegede, 2010;Khaniki et al, 2010), but the risk could be present elsewhere (Rudohradská et al, 2012). The available data on the presence of C. bovis in cattle determined by traditional meat inspection in our region (Western Balkans) indicate a diversity in prevalence (from 0.43 % to 22.4 %), which largely depends on the number of examined animals, their age, origin, the breeding manner, etc.…”

229 SummaryThe aim of this work was to evaluate the presence of Cysticercus bovis of slaughtered cattle in a Croatian slaughterhouse between 2005 and 2010. In total, 203 166 carcasses and organs were examined, of which in 228 C. bovis was found (0.11 %). The highest number of cysticercosis was found in cows (0.69 %, n = 13 605), then in steers (0.093 %; n = 134 212), and the lowest in calves (0.014 %; n = 55 349). Among the 228 positive specimens, 129 (56.57 %) came from rural estates and 99 (43.43 %) from farms. The ratio of invaded steers from rural estates (n = 2 790) and from farm breed (n = 131 422) was 1.075 % : 0.064 %, calves (n = 316 and n = 55 033) 0.316 % : 0.012 %, and cows (n = 8 985 and n = 4 620) 097 % : 0.15 %. The number of cysticercosis invaded cattle decreased from the initial 0.37 % to 0.07 %. Despite low prevalence, we consider that each positive result requires an individual epidemiologic study in order to decrease the risk even more.

“…Although predilection sites are commonly examined in areas where regular post-mortem screening is performed, such measures are not adequately sensitive, especially for the detection of light infections (11,12). Some researches on bovine cysticercosis have previously been conducted in Iran (1,3). Tabriz, the capital of East Azerbaijan Province, Northwest Iran, is one of the important areas for training domestic animals.…”

Objective: Bovine cysticercosis is a cattle infection caused by a tapeworm, Taenia saginata. While the condition is relatively innocuous, the parasite infects the small intestine of humans in its mature stage and causes a few specific symptoms such as abdominal pain and nausea. Methods: Between February 2013 and February 2014, a total of 640 cattle were randomly selected from all the cattle sent to the abattoir, and some internal organs and skeletal muscles of these cattle were inspected. Results: Overall, 11 (1.71%) cattle were infected with the larval form of the cestode parasite T. saginata. In addition, the infection was more prevalent in cattle aged above 12 months than in those aged below 12 months [10 (2.06%) vs. 1 (0.64%)]. The prevalence of infection was significantly higher in female animals [8 (3.72%)] than in male animals [3 (0.70%)] (p<0.05). However, no significant difference was found between the rates in the 2 age groups or in different seasons. While the infections were detected in several visceral organs, no significant difference was found between their infection rates. Conclusion: The comparatively high prevalence of Cysticercus bovis infection in the cattle in Tabriz, Iran, may contribute to economic and health problems in the country's meat industry. On the other hand, the role of public health education in C. bovis infection control cannot be neglected.
