A study on bovine cysticercosis was conducted at Sokoto modern abattoir with the main objectives of determining the occurrence of cysticercosis in slaughtered cattle. A total of 80 samples were collected each containing of Heart, Tongue, Lungs, Liver, Kidney, Diaphragm and Masseter and investigated appropriately for Cysticercus cyst. Out of the total 80 inspected animals, 7 animals had variable number of Cysticercus bovis giving an overall prevalence of 8.8%. Anatomical distribution of the cyst showed that the highest proportions of C. bovis cyst were observed in tongue, followed by heart, triceps and masseter muscle. The main reason for the cysticercosis is the primary host (Humans) depositing T. saginata eggs on vegetation and from where cattle contracted the disease during grazing.
