A seroepidemiological survey was carried out in July 1999 to assess the prevalence of cysticercosis in general population in the Mahajanga City (West of Madagascar). Blood specimens were collected from a randomised sample including 626 individuals more than 2 years old. ELISA and confirmative immunoblot techniques (EITB) were used to measure Cysticercus cellulosae antibodies. The overall prevalence by ELISA test was 19% (15.8-22.7% CI95%). Among positive cases, 87% were also positive by EITB. Cysticercosis is considered as major health problem in Madagascar. A national control programme implementation is imperative.
1999年7月开展了一项血清流行病学调查,以评估马任加市(马达加斯加西部)普通人群中囊尾蚴病的流行情况。从一个包括626名两岁以上个体的随机样本中采集了血液标本。采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)和确诊免疫印迹技术(EITB)来检测猪囊尾蚴抗体。ELISA检测的总体患病率为19%(95%置信区间为15.8 - 22.7%)。在阳性病例中,87%经EITB检测也呈阳性。囊尾蚴病被认为是马达加斯加的一个主要健康问题。实施全国性防控计划势在必行。
