One hundred sixty-one households were selected randomly and visited between November and December 2019. A household questionnaire was administered, and faecal and blood samples were collected from at least one pig older than 3\u00a0months per household. A blood sample was obtained from a jugular venipuncture, and a rectal faecal sample was obtained. <jats:italic>Taenia<\/jats:italic> spp. circulating antigen levels in the sample sera were tested using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit, apDia\u2122 cysticercosis Ag ELISA. The modified McMaster technique was used to identify and quantify the GI parasites. The apparent animal-level seroprevalence for PCC was 4.8% (95% CI 2.7\u20137.1) and differed across the two districts (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.018). At the pig herd level, the prevalence was 9.7% (95% CI 5.5\u201314.4). The prevalence of the different nematode eggs and coccidian oocysts in the two districts was as follows: strongyles 79.0% (95% CI 74.3\u201383.6), coccidia 73.3% (95% CI 68.3\u201378.6), <jats:italic>Trichuris<\/jats:italic> spp. 7.4% (95% CI 4.9\u201310.6), <jats:italic>Strongyloides ransomi<\/jats:italic> 2.1 (95% CI 0.7\u20133.5) and <jats:italic>Ascaris<\/jats:italic> spp. 4.9 (95% CI 2.8\u20137.4). Overall, across the two districts, the arithmetic mean for the oocysts per gram (OPG) for coccidia was 2042.2\u2009\u00b1\u20095776.1, and eggs per gram (EPG) were the highest in strongyles 616.1\u2009\u00b1\u2009991. Overall, 57.4% of the porcine cysticercosis seropositive pigs were also positive for at least one of the gastrointestinal helminths which included strongyles, <jats:italic>Strongyloides ransomi<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Trichuris<\/jats:italic> spp. and <jats:italic>Ascaris<\/jats:italic> spp. The co-infection status of pigs with both PCC and GI parasites demonstrated by this study can provide an incentive for integrating the control and management of both parasites with oxfendazole. Further studies are required to understand the feasibility of using oxfendazole including cost\u2013benefit analysis and the acceptability by local stakeholders for the control of <jats:italic>T. solium<\/jats:italic> cysticercosis and gastrointestinal parasites in pigs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436-021-07380-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,24]],"date-time":"2021-11-24T01:02:15Z","timestamp":1637715735000},"page":"177-189","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Co-infection of pigs with Taenia solium cysticercosis and gastrointestinal parasites in Eastern and Western Uganda"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"121","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3940-4438","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicholas","family":"Ngwili","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lian","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samuel","family":"Githigia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dishon","family":"Muloi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Marshall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raphael","family":"Wahome","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristina","family":"Roesel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"7380_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1455","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2018.05.104","volume":"637\u2013638","author":"IR Abubakar","year":"2018","unstructured":"IR Abubakar 2018 Exploring the determinants of open defecation in Nigeria using demographic and health survey data Sci Total Environ 637\u2013638 1455 1465 https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2018.05.104","journal-title":"Sci Total Environ"},{"key":"7380_CR2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2013.01.003","volume":"194","author":"L Alvarez","year":"2013","unstructured":"L Alvarez C Saumell L Fus\u00e9  2013 Efficacy of a single high oxfendazole dose against gastrointestinal nematodes in naturally infected pigs Vet Parasitol 194 70 74 https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.vetpar.2013.01.003","journal-title":"Vet Parasitol"},{"key":"7380_CR3","unstructured":"ApDia (2019) Cysticercosis. http:\/\/www.apdiagroup.com\/ct-menu-item-11\/elisa\/2014-04-15-19-55-49\/cysticercosis-ag-elisa.
