摘要：

Eighty three carcasses of pigs were examined at three abattoirs in Moshi, Arusha and Mbulu in northern Tanzania. Taenia solium metacestodes were found in all the three abattoirs with an overall prevalence of 13.3%. During routine meat inspection in Kiboroloni, Moshi 6.2-6.9% of the pigs were found to harbour T. solium metacestodes. The mean number of hooks on the protoscolices was 27 and the length of the small hooks varied from 105 mm to 130 mu m while that of the larger hooks varied from 168 mm to 174 mm confirming that the cysts were metacestodes of T. solium. Although cystlike lesions were recovered from livers of both pigs and cattle, no hooklets of sizes in the range of 5-37 mm were found indicating that no Taiwan Taenia metacestodes were recovered during carcass examination.
