Hyperendemicity of cysticercosis in Madagascar: Novel insights from school children population-based antigen prevalence study.
<h4>Objective</h4>Taenia solium (Ts) cysticercosis is a neglected zoonotic disease particularly prevalent in Madagascar. Few data are available for children, current data mainly rely on antibody prevalence. We sought to determine the Ts-antigen seroprevalence-determining active cysticerc...

Few data are available for children, current data mainly rely on antibody prevalence. We sought to determine the Ts-antigen seroprevalence-determining active cysticercosis-amongst school children from various cities in Madagascar (excluding the capital) and evaluated associated risk factors.<h4>Methods</h4>In seven cities in Madagascar, the presence of cysticercosis in school children (n = 1751) was investigated in 2007 using the B158/B60 antigen (Ag)-ELISA.<h4>Results</h4>The overall prevalence based on Ag detection was 27.7% [95%CI: 10-37%]. Risk factors associated with Ag positivity were age, biotope, altitude and annual average rainfall.<h4>Conclusion</h4>These results highlight the high prevalence of active cysticercosis in Madagascar among school children in an urban setting.
