Porcine cysticercosis, which is widely distributed in Africa, causes financial losses and diseases
among humans. To control the disease in an area, it is important to know the geographical
distribution. In this study, spatial distribution of porcine cysticercosis in southern Benin was
performed. By using the number of partial organ seizures at meat inspection, the study has revealed
high risks of porcine cysticercosis in administrative districts of Aplahoue, Dogbo, Klouekanme and
Lokossa. The proportion of seizures ranged from 0.06% for neck muscles to 0.69% for tongues. Spatial
analysis of carcass seizure frequencies revealed Akpro Misserete, Avrankou, Dangbo, Porto-Novo,
Ifangni and Aguegues as the most likely clusters (P<0.001) for porcine cysticercosis distribution. The
risk factor found to be associated with the porcine distribution was the Taenia solium cysticerci
positive testing using lingual examination by butchers and retailers. Catching of pig within the Zou
and Mono department and pigs directly purchased by the butcher were found protective factors for
distribution of porcine cysticercosis in southern Benin. |
