Contribution à l'étude de la cysticercose bovine à l'abattoir de Maroua (Nord-Cameroun)

Contribution to the study of bovine cysticercosis at the Maroua's slaughterhouse. The conditions of bovine cysticercosis at the slaughterhouse of Maroua bas been analysed in 1981. The author observes that the incidence had gradually decreased since 1960. This would be due to an opposite gradually increase of slaughtering nomadic cattle. The incidence in 1981 is 4, 78 % and no seasonal variation could be observed. The investigation on the localisation of the larvae had shown that slicing the masseter muscles would be interesting to introduce in the post-mortem inspection procedure. Finally the author proposes the application of in vivo serological diagnostic methods to compare the results with that of the routine inspection technique.
