Abstract:
An investigation on the epidemiological situation of cysticercosis/taeniasis (Taenia saginata--GOEZE, 1782) showed clear differences in the proportion of cattle infected with C. bovis in the eastern and western part of Germany. Reasons for the high level of the C. bovis infection in the former GDR are a bad waste water situation and an increased intensification of agriculture (high concentration of cattle, increased irrigation).
