Abstract

A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2019 to April 2020 on bovine slaughtered in Jigjiga municipal abattoir to determine the prevalence, cyst viability, organ distribution, and public health significance of bovine cysticercosis. Among 340 examined cattle, 11(3.24%) were found to be infected by Cysticercus bovis.
