Abstract:

One of the most common parasite infections in sub-Saharan Africa is bovine cysticercosis, or Taenia saginata. T. saginata is more common in underdeveloped nations, particularly Ethiopia, where people customarily eat raw, inadequately cooked, or sun-cured meat and sanitary conditions are poor. Raw meat consumption, outside defecation, inadequate waste management, a lack of public knowledge, and backyard abattoir practices were the variables linked to the illness. In addition to its zoonotic significance, taeniosis/cysticercosis results in economic losses due to the rejection of whole carcasses and edible offal and the expense of treating infected humans. Thus, regular meat inspections and raising public knowledge of the risks associated with eating raw meat must be prioritized.

Keywords: Control, Ethiopia, Prevalence, Taenia saginata, Zoonosis.
