Development of a health education intervention strategy using an implementation research method to control taeniasis and cysticercosis in Burkina Faso

ConclusionsThe main problem in the study communities regarding the transmission ofT. solium cysticercosis is the random disposal of human faeces, which can be contaminated with parasite eggs. Prevention of open defecation requires the building of latrines, which can be quite problematic in economically challenged settings. Providing the community with the skills to construct durable latrines using low-cost locally available materials would likely help to resolve this problem. Further studies are required to implement and evaluate theT. solium control strategy developed in this study.
