Seroprevalence of porcine cysticercosis in traditional farms in South-Eastern Côte d'Ivoire.

Background: Porcine cysticercosis is an endemic parasitic zoonosis in many developing countries. The objective of this study was to estimate the seroprevalence of porcine cysticercosis in traditional pig farms in the departments of Dabou, Aboisso and Agboville.

Methods: Blood samples were taken from pigs and analyzed by ELISA (IgG) and western blot.

Construction of an exchange interface for the transmission of laboratory results: a case of the National Tuberculosis Center.

Introduction The transmission of test results by laboratories and their receipt by health facilities are common tasks in the processing of medical information. Managing the flow of information generated by these tasks remains a challenge for these centers. We describe a new system that will allow for electronic management of the transmission of results.
