摘要

id="s5title">IntroductionIn Madagascar, cysticercosis, a disease caused by Taenia Solium’s larval form, is a public health problem. In 2003, the seroprevalence of cysticercosis ranged between 7% and 21% with a higher rate in the central regions of the island. However, epidemiological data on human cysticercosis have been limited over the last dozen years. The objective of our study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of cysticercosis Western blot as well as its associated risk factors in patients from the region of Vakinankaratra with clinical suspicion.
