Box: 196, Gondar, Eiopia Abstract: A cross-sectional study was carried out from November 2009 to April 2010 on bovine cysticercosis at Kombolcha ELFORA meat factory wi e objectives of determining e prevalence of bovine cysticercosis, cyst viability and cyst distribution rough various body organs; and to assess some of e determinant factors associated wi it. A total of 421 carcasses were examined during e study period, of which 27 (6.4%) were found infected wi Taenia (T) saginata metacestode. Out of e total of 158 cysticerci detected, 108 (68.35%) were alive while 50(31.65%) were died cysts. The anatomical distribution of e cyst showed at highest proportions of Cysticercus bovis (C. bovis) cyst were observed in triceps muscle 65 (41.1%), followed by heart 33 (20.9%), tongue 27 (16.9%), masseter muscle 23 (14.4%), liver 6 (3.7%) and e lowest was in diaphragm 4 (2.5%). However, ere was no significant difference (p>0.05) in e distribution rates of e cysticerci in e various organs of cattle slaughtered at e abattoir. Out of 297 male cattle examined, 18 (6.1%) had cysts of bovine cysticercosis while 9 (7.5%) of e 124 investigated female animals were infected. However, e difference between e two sexes was not statistically significant (p>0.05).the prevalence of C. bovis infection was significantly (p<0.05) higher in adults (11.9%) as compared to at of old aged animals (5%). Regarding to origin of animals, ere was no statistical significance difference observed on C. bovis infection (p>0.05). The current finding clearly indicated at relatively high prevalence of T. saginata metacestodes were found distributed roughout e organs of slaughtered cattle. As a result, emphasis should be given to prevent and control e impacts of is disease in animals and in humans. Key words: Prevalence Cysticercus bovis Bovine Kombolcha Eiopia INTRODUCTION Tapeworm infection has been recorded in history from 1500 years ago and has been recognized as one of Cysticercus bovis is a disease at affects e e earliest human parasite. Taenia saginata is a muscle of cattle and is caused by e metacestode worldwide zoonotic cestode whose epidemiology is stage of e human intestinal cestode, T. saginata. It is enically and culturally determined wi estimation of cosmopolitan in its distribution and occurs in million cases of infestation worldwide wi 50, 000 developing as well as in industrialized countries. people dying from is problem annually.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Transmission of e parasite occurs most commonly in e environment characterized by poor sanitation, primitive Study Area and Population: The study was conducted livestock husbandry practice and inadequate meat from November 2009 to April 2010 at Kombolcha ELFORA inspection, management and control policy [7]. meat factory. Kombolcha is located in Sou Wollo at Among e prevalent livestock diseases, 37 kms Nor-East of Addis Ababa at an altitude of zoonotic represents major constraints to e development meter above sea level. In general, e climate of of livestock productivity in e country. Among zoonotic Wollo is divided into semi-arid, arid and semi-desert diseases bovine cysticercosis is e disease at remains climatic conditions. Kombolcha and its surroundings are a major public heal problem in lower income and some characterized as 90% mid altitude ( Woinadega ) and industrialized countries [8]. 10% high altitude ( Dega ). According to CSA [26], The prevalence of C. bovis is low in developing e animal population of e study area comprises of countries, being less an 1% in carcasses inspected [9]. 90,664 cattle, 12,975 sheep, 31,043 goats, 489 horses, It is quite common in Africa reaching a level of 40% of 7,758 donkeys, 866 camel and 43,010 poultry. e cases reported [10]. From is, 80% was in Eiopia, 30-36% in Sierra Leon, 20% in Cameroon, 2% in Senegal Study Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted on and 0.8% was in Sudan [11].

This is mainly due to e presence of a level, 5% desired absolute precision and expected number of unemployed animal heal problems, prevalence. Accordingly, a total of 298 cattle were among which, T. saginata/ C. bovis is one at remains a supposed to be sampled. However, to increase e level major public and animal heal problem [12]. of accuracy of prevalence determination, e sample size Cysticercosis affects bo e heal of e was increased to 421in e current study. consumer and more significantly e country s economy, which approach 30% when allowance is made for e loss Meat Inspection: Ante-mortem examination of all cattle in e carcass weight and e cost of freezing e infected brought for slaughter during period of e study was meat [13, 14]. Generally, e loss is determined by performed. A record of age, breed, sex and e origin of disease prevalence, grade of e animal infected, e animal was taken. Age of cattle was estimated by potential markets, price of cattle and treatment costs for dentition and grouped into adult (animals < 5 years) and detained carcass [15] and medical costs for infected old (animals = 5 years). Post-mortem examination was human beings lowering productivity of infected workers done by systematic examination of different parts of e who may be absent from work or reduce eir working carcass and organs. The examination consisted of visual hours [16]. inspection, palpation and incisions. In positive cases, Previous studies on e prevalence of C. bovis in e site, density and nature of e cyst were recorded and Eiopia showed variable results wi localities. transported to Parasitological department of Kombolcha Relatively lower prevalence was reported in Wolaita Regional Veterinary Laboratory for viability tests. Soddo (2.59%) [17], Central Eiopia (3.1%) [18], Gondar (4.9%) [19], Kombolcha (6.66%) [20] and Addis Data Analysis: Data were collected and recorded on Excel Ababa (7.5%) [21], while higher prevalence was recorded spread sheet and preliminary descriptive analysis such as in East Shoa (17.5%) [22], Nekemte (21%) [23] and prevalence of C. bovis related to specific factors (origin, Hawassa (22.9%) [24] and (26.25%) [25]. Therefore; sex and age of animals) was calculated to assess e is study was undertaken wi e objectives of streng of association of different risk factors to e determining e prevalence of C. bovis in Kombolcha occurrence infection. Statistical analysis was done using ELFORA meat factory and to assess some of e risk SPSS version The occurrence of C. bovis infection factors associated wi it. was calculated by dividing e number of animals 153

3 harboring a cyst by e total number of animals examined. The risk factor associated wi parasitic infection were determined using percentages (%) to measure occurrence and Chi-square ( 2) to measure association were e statistical tools applied. In all e analysis, confidence level at 95% and p<0.05 was set for significance. RESULTS Prevalence of Cysticercus Bovis: Out of e total 421 slaughtered animals inspected, 27 (6.4%) animals were found positive for C. bovis at postmortem inspection. There was no statistical significant difference (p>0.05) between sex and origin of animals wi e prevalence of C. bovis infection, but ere was statistical significant difference (p<0.05) between age groups of animals (Table 1). Regarding to origin of animals, e highest prevalence was observed in cattle from Kemissie (7.6%) followed by Kombolcha (6.7%), Batti (6.5%), Dessie Zuria (6.4) and e least was from Raya (6%) (Table 1). The abattoir survey analysis clearly indicated at ere was a significant variation wi regard to e anatomical distribution of C. bovis in e inspected organs of slaughtered animals. The highest intensity of infection was observed in triceps muscle followed by heart, tongue, masseter muscle, liver and e lowest in diaphragm (Table 2). A total of 158 cysts were recovered from 27 cysticercosis positive animals during e study period. Out of e total of 158 cysts detected, 108(68.35%) were found to be alive (viable), while 50 (31.65%) were died (degenerative) cysts (Table 2).

The current finding was relatively higher an previous findings of Tembo [18] in central Eiopia (3.11%), Nuraddis and Frew [30] in Addis Ababa Municipal Abattoir (3.6%), Dessie [14] in Assela (2.7%), Tolosa et al. [31] and Gomol et al. [32] in Jimma municipal abattoir wi prevalence of 2.93 % and 3.6%, respectively, of Dawit et al. [17] in Wolaita Soddo (2.59%) and of Teka [33], in which e prevalence was 2.2%. On e oer hand, e present finding was extremely lower an e previous findings of Ahmed [23] in Nekemte (21%), Abunna et al. [25] in Hawassa abattoir (26.25%), Kebede [34] in Nor West Eiopia(18.49%), Hailu [22] in East Shoa (17.5%), Mesfin and Nuradddis [24] in Hawassa municipal abattoir (22.9%) and Hailemariam et al. [35] in Eiopia (92.7%). The above difference in prevalence of C. bovis might be associated wi many reasons including time of occurrence (higher in dry season an rainy season) [20, 21], sample size, type of re-infection, status of e people in e environment, e practical limitation to e number of incisions allowed in skeletal muscles, limit to e number and intensity of e incisions made during meat inspection (as is will reduce market price of e carcass) and e knowledge and ability of researchers [20]. Association of C. bovis wi potential risk factors revealed significant relationship (p< 0.05) wi age being higher in adults (13.3%) as compared to at of old aged animals (5%). This finding was in agreement wi e reports of Gomol et al. [32], Jemal and Haileluel [20], 154

4 Dawit et al [17] and Mesfin and Nuradddis [24]. However, kinetics and animal s daily activities. Any geographical it contradicts wi e findings of Hailu [22], Tembo [18] and environmental factors affecting e blood kinetics and Nuraddis and Frew [30]. This significant variation in e animal affect e distribution of onchospheres might be due to age dependent immunity of an animal as well and hence e predilection sites varies during at had an important role to play in fighting meat inspection [36]. Most of ese organs, except against infestation and re-infestation of cysticerci. e heart, are consumed raw or under cooked and The re-stimulation of animal s immunity following could be a potential public heal hazard in contracting continuous invasion of onchospheres, would explain e taeniasis [3]. development of a strong immunity which did not allow furer development of more cysticerci from invading CONCLUSION onchospheres, but spared viable cysticerci from e initial infestation [20, 36]. In addition, is might be due to at Bovine cysticercosisis is one of e major zoonotic any age groups of animal have close susceptibility to diseases at remain a major heal problem of animals T. saginata [30]. and humans causing serious socio-economic impact. There was no statistical significance difference Alough e prevalence found in e current study was (p>0.05) wi sex and origin of animals associated wi relatively low (6.4%), its significance on e heal of bo C. bovis infection. This was in line wi e report of animals and public should not be under estimated. Gomol et al. [32], Jemal and Haileluel [20], Dawit et al [17], Therefore; special attention should be given so as to Mesfin and Nuradddis [24] and Haylegebriel and prevent and control e spread of is disease in animals Alembrhan [29]. Nevereless; is finding was in and in humans. contrary to at of Nuraddis and Frew [30] who reported at statistically significant difference was observed ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS between sexes of slaughtered animals. The possible reason for e non-significant difference between male Special anks to Kombolcha town ELFORA abattoir, and female slaughtered animals might be due to e fact Kombolcha Regional Veterinary Laboratory and at most of e animals brought to e abattoir had University of Gondar Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Staff similar husbandry systems (e same type of livestock members. management) and bo sexes were equally exposed to e disease in all districts, which leads to equal exposure of REFERENCES animals to T. saginata eggs.
