“…Likewise, in the third nationwide survey (2014)(2015), Ta e n i a spp. was found in 1752 people from 12 provinces (38.7%, 12/31) out of 617,441 people under investigation from 31 provinces (out of 34 provinces in China) [27].

“…As a result of a structural shift in pig farming from backyard to large-scale intensive pig farming, as well as a toilet revolution aimed at improving sanitary conditions, the transmission of T. solium between humans and pigs has been significantly interrupted, and spread of the disease is being gradually lessened. structure in the whole population, a weighted prevalence of 0.06 percent was calculated, implying that 0.37 million people were infected [27]. Three national surveys on human parasitic disease in China revealed a significant decline in human T. s o l i u m taeniasis/cysticercosis, while recorded cases indicated that T. s o l i u m cysticercosis was traditionally endemic in northeastern, central, and southwestern China (Figure 2).…”

Taenia solium taeniasis/cysticercosis is an important global food-borne zoonosis transmitted between humans and pigs. In China, the prevalence of Theridion solium taeniasis/cysticercosis has been marked decline in recent decades based on the data revealed by both national surveys and field prevalence investigations. Health education and promotion, meat inspection, and chemotherapy are unquestionably the main control measures for diseases. It is worth noting that a variety of socio-ecological variables have been identified in the process of controlling T. solium taeniasis/cysticercosis. It has become difficult for pigs to come into direct or indirect contact with or consume human excreta as pig farming practices have been shifted from traditional backyard farms to large-scale commercial pig raising systems that are still in progress. The human toilet revolution in rural areas of China has ensured hygienic separation of human excreta from contact, and thereby preventing human excreta from polluting the soil, feeds, and water. These two important fundamental preventive measures are crucial to establishing an environmental restriction between humans and pigs cannot be overlooked for interrupting or limiting T. solium transmission. In this chapter, we reviewed the epidemiology, traditional measures, and ecological determinants that significantly contributed to the dramatic decline of taeniasis/cysticercosis in China.
