The objective of this study was to explore the reasons for the persistence of human cysticercosis (HCC) transmission in Mbulu District, northern Tanzania. The study was carried out in 25 villages, whereby five major risks were identified. The risks were indiscriminate defaecation and improper use of toilets; a free-range system of keeping pigs; indiscriminate or unregulated slaughtering and inadequate meat hygiene and inspection; consumption of undercooked and porcine cysticerci infected pork; and social structure and roles. All of the identified risks were backed up by the immanent lifestyles of the community involved. These findings are important for the development of intervention strategies in the study area.
本研究的目的是探究坦桑尼亚北部姆布卢区人类囊尾蚴病（HCC）传播持续存在的原因。该研究在25个村庄开展，确定了五个主要风险因素。这些风险因素包括随地排便和厕所使用不当；猪的放养模式；屠宰行为随意或无监管以及肉类卫生和检验不足；食用未煮熟的、感染猪囊尾蚴的猪肉；以及社会结构和角色。所有已确定的风险因素都与相关社区内在的生活方式有关。这些研究结果对于制定研究区域的干预策略具有重要意义。
