A total of 942 slaughtered cattle at Nsukka, Enugu, Abakaliki, Nkalagu and Onitsha slaughter houses were examined for evidence of Cysticercus bovis infection. 430 animals (45.65 per cent) were in the 2-4 year age group. 38 animals had cysticerci in their tissues. Out of the 38 infected cattle 26 (68.42 per cent) were in the 2-4 year group. Of these 26 cattle, 20 (76.92 per cent) had viable cysts in parts of their body while 6 (23.1 per cent) had dead cysts. 2 out of the infected 20 cattle had viable cysts in the liver but only one had viable cysts in the lung. The number of cysts found per carcase was between 1 and 5.23 (60.53 per cent) of the 38 infected carcases had single infection and 15 (39.47 per cent) had multiple infection. Most commonly infected parts were the heart, tongue, masseter muscle, diaphragm with its pillar, muscle of arm, muscle of thigh, liver, oesophagus and lung in that order. The prevalent rates for Nsukka, Enugu, Abakaliki, Nkalagu, Onitsha slaughter houses were 4.35 per cent, 3.2 per cent, 4.10 per cent, 7.5 per cent and 4.07 per cent respectively. Bovine cysticercosis infection in cattle can be controlled by environmental sanitation and through meat inspection done by well trained meat inspectors.
对Nsukka、Enugu、Abakaliki、Nkalagu和Onitsha屠宰场的942头屠宰牛进行了检查，以寻找牛囊尾蚴感染的证据。430头动物（45.65%）处于2至4岁年龄组。38头动物的组织中有囊尾蚴。在这38头受感染的牛中，26头（68.42%）属于2至4岁年龄组。在这26头牛中，20头（76.92%）身体部分有活囊尾蚴，6头（23.1%）有死囊尾蚴。20头受感染的牛中有2头肝脏有活囊尾蚴，但只有1头肺中有活囊尾蚴。每头 carcass发现的囊尾蚴数量在1至5个之间。38头受感染的 carcass中，23头（60.53%）为单一感染，15头（39.47%）为多重感染。最常受感染的部位依次为心脏、舌头、咬肌、带支柱的膈肌、手臂肌肉、大腿肌肉、肝脏、食道和肺。Nsukka、Enugu、Abakaliki、Nkalagu、Onitsha屠宰场的流行率分别为4.35%、3.2%、4.10%、7.5%和4.07%。牛的牛囊尾蚴病感染可通过环境卫生和由训练有素的肉类检验员进行的肉类检验来控制。 （注：carcass在文中重复出现，可能是同一英文单词的拼写错误，正常应统一为carcass ，中文意思为“胴体、屠体” ）
