The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of Taenia solium anti-metacestode antibodies in slaughtered pigs in a semi-arid region of the “Alto Sertão” of Sergipe state, Brazil, and verify the risk factors associated with swine cysticercosis. For this, 230 samples of swine blood from two slaughterhouses were collected and analyzed by indirect ELISA. The pigs came from five non-technical properties in the semi-arid region of the Alto Sertão of Sergipe state. Searches for cysts in the skeletal muscles of the pigs were performed during slaughter. In addition, an epidemiological questionnaire was applied to the pigs’ original properties to determine risk factors. Besides that, the official health services database was evaluated for confirmed cases of neurocysticercosis and taeniasis in humans in the last 5 years, living in the studied region. Seropositivity in pigs was 12.6%, with no significant difference between males and females. No cysts were found in the carcasses of the slaughtered pigs. A positive association was found for properties that discharge domestic sewage into the environment, in river or streams, increasing the risk of positivity by 5.72 times. When analyzing the database of official agencies, there were no records of cases of neurocysticercosis or taeniasis in the resident population in the last 5 years. However, there were frequent cases of idiopathic epilepsy. The results demonstrate that study area is endemic for swine cysticercosis and serves as a warning of the possibility of the occurrence of the taeniasis-cysticercosis complex.

这项研究的目的是确定of虫的频率巴西Sergipe州“ AltoSertão”半干旱地区的一头宰杀猪的抗metacestode抗体，并验证了与猪囊尾rc病相关的​​危险因素。为此，从两个屠宰场收集了230份猪血样本，并通过间接ELISA分析。这些猪来自Sergipe州AltoSertão的半干旱地区的五个非技术性质。屠宰期间对猪骨骼肌中的囊肿进行了搜索。此外，对猪的原始特性进行了流行病学调查，以确定危险因素。除此之外，还对官方卫生服务数据库进行了评估，以评估居住在研究区域的最近5年中人类确诊的神经囊虫病和虫病的病例。猪的血清阳性率为12.6％，男女之间无显着差异。屠宰猪的尸体中未发现囊肿。在将生活污水排放到环境中（河流或溪流）的属性中发现了正相关关系，使阳性风险增加了5.72倍。在分析官方机构的数据库时，最近5年没有常住人口中神经囊尾ice病或en虫病的记录。但是，经常有特发性癫痫的病例。结果表明，该研究区域是猪囊尾rc病的地方病，并警告出现虫-囊尾ice病复合体的可能性。在将生活污水排放到环境中（河流或溪流）的属性中发现了正相关关系，使阳性风险增加了5.72倍。在分析官方机构的数据库时，最近5年没有常住人口中神经囊尾ice病或en虫病的记录。但是，经常有特发性癫痫的病例。结果表明，该研究区域是猪囊尾rc病的地方病，并警告出现虫-囊尾ice病复合体的可能性。在将生活污水排放到环境中（河流或溪流）的属性中发现了正相关关系，使阳性风险增加了5.72倍。在分析官方机构的数据库时，最近5年没有常住人口中神经囊尾ice病或en虫病的记录。但是，经常有特发性癫痫的病例。结果表明，该研究区域是猪囊尾rc病的地方病，并警告出现虫-囊尾ice病复合体的可能性。经常发生特发性癫痫。结果表明，该研究区域是猪囊尾rc病的地方病，并警告出现虫-囊尾ice病复合体的可能性。经常发生特发性癫痫。结果表明，该研究区域是猪囊尾rc病的地方病，并警告出现虫-囊尾ice病复合体的可能性。
