Describing knowledge and practices regarding taeniasis-cysticercosis and cysticercosis prevalence in the village of Andagoya, Colombia.
The study design was qualitative and quantitative. The study population consisted of pig breeders and their families, local groups and pigs.
Study participants had partial knowledge of the taeniasis-cysticercosis complex. They considered taeniasis to be an illness resulting from faecal transmission and not caused by becoming infected with cysticercosis after consuming pork. Pig breeding is not carried out in confined conditions and, although breeders know the right measures for controlling some parasitic illnesses, these practices are not observed. There was 8.7% presence of T. solium antibodies in pig breeders and their relatives and 20.9% in the pigs.
An educational programme aimed at raising the population's awareness of the taeniasis-cysticercosis complex cycle should be developed; this will facilitate control measures being applied.
描述哥伦比亚安达戈亚村关于猪带绦虫病-囊尾蚴病的知识与实践以及囊尾蚴病的患病率。
研究设计为定性和定量研究。研究人群包括养猪户及其家人、当地群体和猪。
研究参与者对猪带绦虫病-囊尾蚴病复合体有部分了解。他们认为猪带绦虫病是由粪便传播引起的疾病，而非食用猪肉后感染囊尾蚴病所致。养猪并非在封闭条件下进行，尽管养殖户了解控制某些寄生虫病的正确措施，但这些措施并未得到执行。养猪户及其亲属中猪带绦虫抗体阳性率为8.7%，猪的阳性率为20.9%。
应制定一项教育计划，以提高民众对猪带绦虫病-囊尾蚴病复合循环的认识；这将有助于实施控制措施。
