Seroprevalence of < em > Taenia solium < /em > and < em > Trichinella spiralis < /em > among Humans and Pigs in Ghana

This study also recorded a seroprevalence of 0.31% for Trichinella spp. for humans and a seroprevalence of 4.5% for Trichinella spp. for pigs. Again, all the samples that showed serological evidence of Trichinella spp. among pigs came from those pigs which were raised on the free-ranged system. Proper pig management practice is a very important tool for controlling these intestinal parasites in both humans and animals. This study recommends public health education among the general public and good pig farming practices.PMID:34660777 | PMC:PMC8519675 | DOI:10.1155/2021/1031965
