[Sero-epidemiological study of cysticercosis in Reunion Island].
Cysticercosis is a health problem in Reunion Island. A representative sample (3388 sera) of the Reunion population (more than 14 years of age) shows a prevalence of 8.2%. A statistically significant correlation is found with mode of transmission (pig raising, toilet). This result contributes to proposed measures of prevention.
