| Abstract: |
A cross sectional study on prevalence of Porcine Cysticercosis and its associated factors
was conducted among 384 pigs by using serum samples in the year 2014 at Kathmandu
Valley, Nepal by Ag-ELISA test. The statistical analyses was done by using R 3.0.3 software
(R Core Team, 2014) for possible associations between positive cases and each factor of
interest. Among 384 pigs tested, 33 animals were found positive against Cysticercosis
infection (apparent seroprevalence was 8.59%; 95% C.I. 6.18-11.82%; and the true
seroprevalence was 7.9%; 95% C.I. 5.3-11.1%). In bivariate analysis, seroprevalence was
found to be significantly associated with breed (improved and local breed were 10.4%;
95% C.I. 7.5-14.5% and 2.3%; 95% C.I. 0.6-7.8% respectively); abortion history in
females (18.2%; 95% C.I. 9.5-31.9%) and housing system (indoor housing and free-range
grazing were 3.4%; 95% C.I. 1.9-5.9% and 36.7%; 95% C.I. 25.6-49.3% respectively) of
pig. In the multivariate analysis, the odds of improved breed being seropositive was 5.1
(95% C.I. 1.2-21.8) times greater that of local; whereas free-grazing pigs showed 16.5
(95% C.I. 7.4-35.6) times higher rate of sero-prevalence than that of indoor raised ones;
and both the variables remained significant (p
