چکیده
Coenurosis due to Taenia multiceps has emerged as a major concern small ruminant-owning communities in northern Tanzania. Although high incidence of disease been reported, gaps still remain our knowledge the problem across different agro-ecological settings. The study aimed determine prevalence coenurosis ruminants and taeniid infection dogs identify risk factors for infection. Questionnaire surveys, postmortem examination ruminants, coproscopic dog faeces were used collect data on reported cases infections, respectively. twelve-month period was 8.4% (95% CI 8.2–8.6). 12.5% 9.1–17.4). village-level sheep goats significantly correlated with (r = 0.51, p 0.029). Multivariable analysis indicated that home slaughter associated livestock owner-reported neurological syndrome (OR 13.3, 95% 4.2–42.0, < 0.001) practice offering discarded brains 2.80, 0.98–7.98, 0.05). is livestock-keeping Tanzania, but there little awareness transmission risks feeding practices. There need veterinary animal health services engage more actively increase cycle T. preventive measures can be taken reduce impact livestock-dependent communities.
