ABSTRACT

Introduction: Currently in Mexico cysticercosis remains a human health problem. The determination of geographical areas in which the conditions for completion of the life cycle of Taenia solium remain a priority in order to be able to apply the appropriate preventive measures.
Objective: To determine, at the states and municipal levels, the areas in which the main risk factors necessary for the development of the Taenia solium life cycle persist through consultation of the latest available population and agricultural censuses.
Methods: We consulted the Population and Housing census (2010, INEGI) and the Agricultural Census (2007, INEGI) and evaluated the distribution, at the state and municipal levels, of the following four variables: “water, drainage and toilet availabilities”, as well as “presence of pigs in housing”. The states and municipalities with the highest number or proportion of houses meeting these criteria were selected. We compare our results with the Human Development Index (HDI, UNDP).
Results: We present the distribution of the 10 States and of the 100 municipalities that gather the most risk factors. The correlation between HDI and risk factors was highly significant when all municipalities were taken into account, but not significant when only the 100 municipalities with the highest risk factors were considered.
Conclusions: Herein we present an original methodology that allows locating the zones of the country that present more risk factors for the development of the complex taeniosis / cysticercosis. This methodology will allow the targeted application of prevention strategies in the most affected areas.
