Prevalence and risk factors associated with Taenia solium cysticercosis in pigs in Oyam district, Uganda

PC is still endemic in Oyam District and significant risk factors are: breeds, age, husbandry practices, pork consumption and household hygiene. Therefore, efforts to expand latrine coverage should be accompanied by improvements in latrine quality, community sensitization, and broader investments in sanitation infrastructure in the study area and in other settings with similar epidemiological profiles. Furthermore, future studies could factor in the impact of environmental contamination and latrine status to give a comprehensive picture of the epidemiology of the infection in the area.
