In Peru pork supplied through regulated slaughterhouses is primarily restricted to the large cities on the coast. Approximately 65% of the pork consumed in the country is obtained through informal channels that are not inspected or supervised. The pathways via which pigs are commercialized were studied in Huancayo, a city in the Peruvian Sierra where cysticercosis is endemic. Official purchase, slaughter, and market records were reviewed. Also, direct surveys and participant observation were carried out at two local live pig markets and at two informal meat markets. Pigs were not processed in local slaughterhouses; instead, they were butchered informally. The proportion of cysticercotic pigs detected by tongue examination ranged from 14% to 25% of the total sold. Since cysticercotic pigs and pork are sold through informal markets, surveys of abattoirs and meat markets are not a reliable way to monitor the prevalence of porcine cysticercosis in Peru. We estimate that 48% of the pork traded informally and 23% of the total pork consumed in Huancayo is derived from pigs that are infected with cysticercosis.
在秘鲁，通过正规屠宰场供应的猪肉主要限于沿海大城市。该国约65%的猪肉消费是通过未经检查或监管的非正式渠道获得的。在秘鲁山区囊尾蚴病流行的万卡约市，研究了猪的商业化途径。查阅了官方采购、屠宰和市场记录。此外，还在当地两个生猪市场和两个非正式肉类市场进行了直接调查和参与观察。猪不在当地屠宰场加工，而是进行非正式屠宰。通过舌头检查检测出的囊尾蚴病猪的比例占总销售量的14%至25%。由于囊尾蚴病猪和猪肉通过非正式市场销售，因此对屠宰场和肉类市场进行调查并不是监测秘鲁猪囊尾蚴病流行情况的可靠方法。我们估计，在万卡约市，非正式交易的猪肉中有48%以及消费的猪肉总量中有23%来自感染囊尾蚴病的猪。
