[Taeniasis in Wrocław and Czestochowa provinces]

On the basis of control cards of taeniosis collected in the Sanitary Epidemiological Stations the comparison of the infectivity in 1980-1994 was carried out. Standard parameters environment (town, village), sex and age groups as well as morbidity rates/100,000 inhabitants were taken into consideration. Since 1980 the number of registered cases was reduced from 21.2 in Wrocław urban populations and 15.5 in rural population as well as 6.3 in Czestochowa urban populations and 2.9 in rural population to 5.0 and 3.3 as well as 1.1 and 0.9, respectively in 1994. More frequent occurrences of taeniosis (6.7 mean morbidity) in Wrocław than in Czestochowa province (1.4) were noted.
