The examination of various organs of 25,800 cattle in 10 major abattoirs of this region showed that 6750 (26.2%) were infected with <jats:italic>Cysticercus (C.) bovis<\/jats:italic>. The prevalence rates varied from one abattoir to another while the rates of cysticercosis in local and exotic breeds varied significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05). Sixty percent of all the infected animals had cysts. The tongue, cardiac, and masseter muscles were the main predilection sites of the cysts. Out of 11,720 male cattle, examined, 3215 (27.4%) had cysts of <jats:italic>C. bovis<\/jats:italic> while 160 (13.6%) of the 1180 female animals investigated were infected. There was an inverse relationship between the ages of the animals and prevalence of infection with <jats:italic>C. bovis<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>=\u22120.8743, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). Monthly occurrence of the cysts in the animals revealed an upsurge of infected animals during the dry season. The epidemiology and epizootiology of <jats:italic>Taenia saginata<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>C. bovis<\/jats:italic> in relation to the veterinary service agencies and public health planners in southeastern Nigeria are highlighted.<\/jats:bold> <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1196\/annals.1373.048","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,11,30]],"date-time":"2006-11-30T00:48:38Z","timestamp":1164847718000},"page":"339-346","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Cysticercosis of Slaughter Cattle in Southeastern Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"1081","author":[{"given":"MAXWELL N.","family":"OPARA","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"UKEME MICHAEL","family":"UKPONG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"IFEANYI CHARLES","family":"OKOLI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JUDE CHUKS","family":"ANOSIKE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","first-page":"96 p.","volume-title":"A survey of gastrointestinal parasites of some ruminants in Etiti Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria","author":"Anosike J.C.","year":"1985"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00034983.1990.11812513"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","first-page":"25","article-title":"Epizootiology of Cysticercus bovis in Imo State, Nigeria","volume":"29","author":"Okafor F.C.","year":"1988","journal-title":"Angew.
