Abstract

Bovine cysticercosis is a zoonosis caused by Taenia Saginata, which presents a high risk to the consuming population of bovine meat and with great impact on animal production. The objective of this study was to diagnose the prevalence of bovine cysticercosis in the Northwest region of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and to investigate which municipalities provide the most animals for slaughter. The diagnosis of zoonosis was made using the method of visualization of cysts in the carcass in inspection performed under the Official Inspection Service, under the supervision of a Veterinarian. For the estimation of the prevalence data were used from the period of the year 2007 to the year 2016 provided by Frigorific Ilha Solteira Ltda. and for the investigation of the cities of origin of the animals were used data from the year 2007 to the year 2014. The prevalence of bovine cysticercosis in the Northwest region of the State of São Paulo, Brazil between the years 2007 to 2016 was 4.83%, and the municipalities that provided the most animals for slaughter at Frigorific Ilha Solteira Ltda. were Pereira Barreto, followed by the municipalities of Santo Antônio do Araranguá, Sud Mennucci, Mirandópolis and Guaraçai.
