A literature review and collection of pig population data were used to map the TSTC and pig population distribution at the national level. In Busia County, the retrospective study retrieved reports on porcine cysticercosis and epilepsy (as a proxy indicator of neurocysticercosis) from hospitals and meat inspection records. The cross-sectional study assessed risk behaviors associated with TSTC in Busia County. The TSTC reports and proportions of porcine cysticercosis and epilepsy (as a proxy indicator of neurocysticercosis) were aggregated at the county and sub-county levels and visualized using QGIS.

A systematic search of the literature yielded a total of fourteen research reports, with the reported cases ranging from 1.8% to 49.9% for porcine cysticercosis, 1.6% to 31.1% for human cysticercosis, and 0.18% to 19.9% for\n                      <jats:italic>T. solium<\/jats:italic>\n                      taeniosis, respectively. The retrospective data showed cases of porcine cysticercosis and epilepsy (as a proxy indicator of neurocysticercosis) in all sub-counties of Busia. The WHO risk mapping tool categorized Bunyala, Teso South, Nambale, and Butula sub-counties as high-risk areas. The questionnaire survey highlighted semi-confinement as the predominant pig husbandry practice (61.1%), with 32% of pigs having access to sewage, and there was poor community awareness about TSTC in Busia County.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The study indicated the presence of TSTC transmission in Western Kenya and identified Busia County as a high-risk area based on multiple layers of evidence.
