Factors associated with the prevalence of circulating antigens to porcine cysticercosis in three villages of burkina faso.
little is known about porcine cysticercosis in Burkina Faso. We conducted a pilot study to estimate the prevalence of antigens of Taenia solium cysticercosis and to identify associated factors in pigs of three villages in Burkina Faso, selected to represent different pig management practices: one vi...
