Abstract

Cysticercosis is considered to be one of the main parasitic diseases that cause economic losses in the meat market currently. In addition, the disease is considered an important zoonosis in Public Health due to the severity of the implications that it causes in the host. Therefore, the objective of this article was to review the literature in search of technological processes that allow a better use of swine and bovine carcasses affected by cysticercosis. The treatment by salting and cold are the main technologies currently used in Brazil to inactivate the parasite, due its effectiveness and the best cost-benefit for the industry. The use of these technologies is essential to obtain a product of satisfactory quality and safety for sale to the final consumer.
