Objective: To present a more accurate method for diagnosis of Cysticercus bovis in slaughtered cattle. Project: Slaughterhouse study. 
Animal: 3436 cattle. 
Method: To present a more accurate method for diagnosis 
of C.bovis in slaughtered cattle 1812 cattle were examined 
at meat inspection using traditional method. Meanwhile by 
using standard method for detection of c.bovis at meat 
inspection in South Africa, Germany and England 145 
cattle for each region were examined. In each method the 
percentage of infection with C.bovis was determined. In 
traditional method heart, external and internal master and 
triceps muscles were inspected. Whereas for the method 
used in Germany and England, heart, external and internal master, oesophagus, diaphragm, tongue and for that of 
South Africa in addition to these, triceps was also inspected. 
The best, among the method used, was selected and according to the latter 1189 carcasses were examined. If the 
accuracy of selected method was statistically superior or 
similar to the best method, thus it was considered as an 
alternative or replacement method to the traditional 
method. 
Results: By examining of 1182 cattle at meat inspection 
using traditional method 47 carcasses(2.6%) harboured 
c.bovis in different organs, whereas using standard 
method, used in Germany, England and South Africa 7.6%, 
6.9% and 6.9% of examined cattle were found to be infected 
with’ C.bovis. There was a significant differences between 
traditional method and standard methods of three different 
countries us in X2 test. Standard method used in Germany 
was more accurate than the others, thus it was chosen as our 
selected method by which 1189 cattle were examined of 
which ninty cattle (7.6%) were found to be infected with 
C.bovis, an infection rate comparable to German method. 
Thus it could be suggested as an alternative or replacement to the traditional method. J.Fac.Vet.Med. Univ. Tehran.
