While porcine cysticercosis has been eliminated from most EU countries, bovine cysticercosis continues to be a concern for public health and the cattle industry, despite systematic meat inspection and good hygienic standards. It has been suggested that the persistence of bovine cysticercosis is due to the low sensitivity of meat inspection, cattle husbandry systems that allow grazing and consequently exposure to Taenia eggs, and the common practice of eating raw or undercooked beef in many EU countries. However, accurate data on taeniasis and cysticercosis are mostly lacking in most member states. In addition, the ways by which Taenia eggs find their way to pastures or feed are not well understood.
