EXPECTED PREVALENCE OF GOAT CYSTICERCOSIS: AN ANALYSIS IN A RURAL AREA OF THAILAND

Abstract

Taeniasis is an important tropical infection. The problem is usually mentioned regarding the infected pig and cattle. However, the cysticercosis can also be seen in other kinds of animals including to goat. Outbreaks among goats are sporadically reported and the problem is still the important tropical infection [1-2]. Here, the authors use the Geographic information System (GIS) technology for prediction of cysticercosis in goat. Here, the authors focuses the interest on the situation of goat cysticercosis in a rural province of Thailand namely Nakornratchasrima province where there are many agricultural farms. The protocol for GIS prediction is the same as previously used previous referencing studies [3-6].
