Bovine cysticercosis is a cattle infection caused by a tapeworm, Taenia saginata. While the condition is relatively innocuous, the parasite infects the small intestine of humans in its mature stage and causes a few specific symptoms such as abdominal pain and nausea.
Between February 2013 and February 2014, a total of 640 cattle were randomly selected from all the cattle sent to the abattoir, and some internal organs and skeletal muscles of these cattle were inspected.
Overall, 11 (1.71%) cattle were infected with the larval form of the cestode parasite T. saginata. In addition, the infection was more prevalent in cattle aged above 12 months than in those aged below 12 months [10 (2.06%) vs. 1 (0.64%)]. The prevalence of infection was significantly higher in female animals [8 (3.72%)] than in male animals [3 (0.70%)] (p<0.05). However, no significant difference was found between the rates in the 2 age groups or in different seasons. While the infections were detected in several visceral organs, no significant difference was found between their infection rates.
The comparatively high prevalence of Cysticercus bovis infection in the cattle in Tabriz, Iran, may contribute to economic and health problems in the country's meat industry. On the other hand, the role of public health education in C. bovis infection control cannot be neglected.
牛囊尾蚴病是由绦虫牛带绦虫引起的牛感染疾病。虽然这种疾病相对无害，但该寄生虫在成熟阶段会感染人类小肠并引发一些特定症状，如腹痛和恶心。
2013年2月至2014年2月期间，从所有送往屠宰场的牛中随机挑选了640头牛，并对这些牛的一些内脏器官和骨骼肌进行了检查。
总体而言，11头（1.71%）牛感染了绦虫寄生虫牛带绦虫的幼虫形式。此外，12个月以上的牛比12个月以下的牛感染更为普遍[10头（2.06%）对1头（0.64%）]。雌性动物的感染率[8头（3.72%）]显著高于雄性动物[3头（0.70%）]（p<0.05）。然而，在两个年龄组或不同季节的感染率之间未发现显著差异。虽然在几个内脏器官中检测到了感染，但它们的感染率之间没有显著差异。
伊朗大不里士牛群中牛囊尾蚴感染率相对较高，可能给该国肉类行业带来经济和健康问题。另一方面，公共卫生教育在控制牛囊尾蚴感染方面的作用不可忽视。
