We have observed the seropositive rate of Taenia solium cysticercosis in residents at Nabo Village, Tiandong County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The village had been found to be a relatively high endemic area of porcine cysticercosis among roaming pigs. Of 202 persons examined four males aged 15, 25, 35 and 41 year-old exhibited absorbance (abs) at 0.18, 0.20, 0.35 and 0.55, respectively. In addition, two females whose ages were 35 and 39 years revealed specific antibody levels of abs 0.26 and 0.41 in their sera. Overall positive rate among the people was 2.97%. All of these persons agreed that they had ingested the pork infected with T. solium metacestode (TsM), while history of proglottid discharge was not noticed from all of them. Three males and one female complained of intermittent headache. Our findings reinforced not only that the prevalence of cysticercosis might be related with roaming pigs infected with TsM but also that behavioral and environmental practices in local community constituted risk factors for transmission of the infection.
我们采用酶联免疫吸附试验观察了中国广西壮族自治区田东县那坡村居民猪带绦虫囊尾蚴病的血清阳性率。该村已被发现是散养猪中猪囊尾蚴病相对高发的流行区。在接受检查的202人中，4名年龄分别为15岁、25岁、35岁和41岁的男性的吸光度（abs）分别为0.18、0.20、0.35和0.55。此外，两名年龄分别为35岁和39岁的女性血清中的特异性抗体水平abs分别为0.26和0.41。人群总体阳性率为2.97%。所有这些人都承认他们食用过感染有猪带绦虫中绦期（TsM）的猪肉，不过他们所有人都没有发现有节片排出史。3名男性和1名女性诉说有间歇性头痛。我们的研究结果不仅强化了囊尾蚴病的流行可能与感染TsM的散养猪有关，还表明当地社区的行为和环境习惯构成了感染传播的危险因素。
