The objective of the study was to classify regions with probability of the Taeniasis/Cysticercosis complex by T. solium through a mapping of risk areas for Taenia solium validated by the Pan American Health Organization. The application of the methodology began with the collection of history of the disease and risk factors for the presence of the parasite, based on the scientific literature, reports and databases of public and animal health institutions, and results of the Census. National of the year 2017 developed by the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics, in order to corroborate the presence of said risk factors in each department. Subsequently, the information was organized by departments and entered into the database required by the Mapping to be later processed by the program in EXCEL, where the background of studies and risk factors related to the presence of the disease in the departments are also from Peru. Finally, the results were processed automatically, showing the classification of risk areas at the end. It was obtained as result that 18 of 25 departments of Peru showed a high level of risk of T. solium, that there is a high probability of active transmission of the parasite; on the other hand, 4 of 25 departments presented moderate risk, which indicated that there could be active transmission in those regions. The study shows that the mapping program in EXCEL can help to determine risk areas, which can be used to subsequently deepen in order to take control measures to prevent the spread of the Taeniasis/Cysticercosis complex.
