People shedding\n T. solium<\/jats:italic>\n eggs or proglottids from the adult tapeworm are the source of infection for those with cysticercosis.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n A matched case\u2013control study of\n T. solium<\/jats:italic>\n taeniasis was conducted in northern Laos. Cases were identified by\n rrnS<\/jats:italic>\n PCR and sequencing. Risk factor data were collected by standardised questionnaire. Conditional logistic regression assessed the significance of risk factors.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Eighteen cases and 36 controls participated in the study. Only raw pork and undercooked grilled pork were significant risk factors (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.05), however, fermented pork was very close to being significant (\n p\u2009=<\/jats:italic>\n \u20090.05). Income, food insecurity, education, being a household head and the number of household members were clearly not significant (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009\u2265\u20090.20).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Raw and undercooked pork have different sources in northern Laos. Raw pork is almost only consumed from wild pigs that are opportunistically caught, whereas undercooked pork is consumed throughout the year from wild, local and commercial pigs. Food safety activities must consider these differences in supply chains.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/tmi.70001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]],"date-time":"2025-07-01T00:43:57Z","timestamp":1751330637000},"page":"848-852","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Risk factors for\n \n Taenia solium<\/i>\n <\/scp>\n taeniasis: A case\u2013control study in Lao\n PDR<\/scp>"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2741-1059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew","family":"Larkins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical, Molecular and Forensic Sciences Murdoch University Perth Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2094-6728","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Davina","family":"Boyd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Sustainable Farming Systems Food Futures Institute, Murdoch University Perth Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vatsana","family":"Duangmala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Social Science National University of Laos Vientiane Lao PDR"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bounnaloth","family":"Insisiengmay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communicable Disease Control Ministry of Health Vientiane Lao PDR"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5890-7954","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Malavanh","family":"Chittavong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Agriculture National University of Laos Vientiane Lao PDR"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8218-7048","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amanda","family":"Ash","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical, Molecular and Forensic Sciences Murdoch University Perth Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","volume-title":"Multicriteria\u2010based ranking for risk management of food\u2010borne parasites","author":"FAO WHO","year":"2014"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-020-65768-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","volume-title":"Preventable epilepsy: taenia solium infection burdens economies, societies and individuals: a rationale for investment and action","author":"WHO","year":"2016"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","unstructured":"LarkinsA.Techniques for mappingTaenia soliumin the Lao People's Democratic Republic [PhD dissertation].
