Human cysticercosis and taeniasis prevalence was 2.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.4\u20133.0%) and 8.4% (95% CI = 6.9\u20139.9%), respectively. Eating uncooked beef, being male, province of residence, age, and ethnicity were significant risk factors for taeniasis and only province of residence was a significant risk factor for cystiercosis. Thirty-five human tapeworms were recovered during the survey and 33 (94.3%) and 2 (5.7%) were identified as <jats:italic>Taenia saginata<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>T. solium<\/jats:italic>, respectively.
