Cysticercosis is a zoonotic disease with a global concern. Estimation of the prevalence and identification of potential risk factors are necessary for the prevention and control of the disease. This study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of cysticercosis and the correlation of the increased prevalence with several potential risk factors.
The seroprevalence of cysticercosis was conducted using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), developed by the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp, to detect . This study used serum samples from 62 pigs taken from two regencies on Timor Island. The data analysis was performed using SPSS software 20.0 (IBM Corp., NY, USA) to evaluate ELISA results and the strength of the relationship between risk factors and the prevalence of disease using the odds ratio (OR).
Serum samples from 18 out of the 62 pigs were found to be positive; the seroprevalence of cysticercosis was 29%. The results showed that an extensive farming system led to a higher prevalence of cysticercosis compared to an intensive farming system, namely, 10 out of 18 (56.6%), and that the possibility of identifying cysticercosis in pigs in an extensive farming system was 5 times greater than that in pigs in an intensive farming system. In addition, the results showed that nine out of 18 households who did not have toilet facilities were found to be seropositive, indicating a significant relationship between the risk factor of toilet availability with cysticercosis in pigs, with an OR of 4.5. In addition, the results showed that there was no significant relationship between the risk factor of the feed source and the prevalence of cysticercosis in pigs.
It can be concluded that the seroprevalence of cysticercosis was 29% in domestic pigs of Timor Island. The risk factors of an extensive pig farming system andtoilet availabilityin community houses were significantly related to the possibility of cysticercosis on Timor Island.
囊尾蚴病是一种引起全球关注的人畜共患病。估计其患病率并确定潜在风险因素对于该病的预防和控制至关重要。本研究旨在估计囊尾蚴病的血清阳性率，并探讨患病率增加与若干潜在风险因素之间的相关性。
采用安特卫普热带医学研究所开发的酶联免疫吸附测定法（ELISA）检测囊尾蚴病的血清阳性率。本研究使用了从帝汶岛两个摄政区采集的62头猪的血清样本。使用SPSS软件20.0（美国纽约IBM公司）进行数据分析，以评估ELISA结果，并使用比值比（OR）评估风险因素与疾病患病率之间关系的强度。
62头猪中的18头血清样本呈阳性；囊尾蚴病的血清阳性率为29%。结果表明，与集约化养殖系统相比，粗放式养殖系统导致囊尾蚴病的患病率更高，即在18头阳性猪中有10头（56.6%），并且在粗放式养殖系统中猪感染囊尾蚴病的可能性是集约化养殖系统中猪的5倍。此外，结果显示，18户没有厕所设施的家庭中有9户血清呈阳性，表明猪舍有无厕所这一风险因素与猪囊尾蚴病之间存在显著关系，OR为4.5。此外，结果表明，饲料来源这一风险因素与猪囊尾蚴病的患病率之间没有显著关系。
可以得出结论，帝汶岛家猪中囊尾蚴病的血清阳性率为29%。粗放式养猪系统和社区房屋有无厕所这两个风险因素与帝汶岛囊尾蚴病的发病可能性显著相关。
