Porcine cysticercosis is endemic in rural communities of Peru, due to the conditions that contribute to its onset, transmission and maintenance. This thesis assessed the real prevalence of porcine cysticercosis in three villages of Andahuaylas province, Apurimac Department. The entire porcine population was sampled (N = 304), except for suckling piglets under 2 months old and pregnant sows. The samples were examinee by the Enzyme Immuno Electro Transfer Blot (EITB) test. Resulting data was analyzed to determine the risk factors and was analyzed in a stocastic simulation to asses the real prevalence. This stocastic simulation used random numbers generation functions that followed beta binomial distributions. This simulation was implemented in Microsoft Excel 2000® while the functions were implemented using the commercial simulation software @Risk 4.0® from Palisade Corp. the infection level in Nueva Esperanza was significantly lower to those founded in Turpo and Matapuquio (p<0.05), it was also found that a bigger proportion of male pig infected, but it was not estatistically significant. In what respects to the age, a perfectly direct correlation was found between the animals age and the porcine cysticercosis prevalence. The logistic regression showed that the variables sampling location and age represent risk factors asociated with the disease (p<0.0001). Following the same criterion it was observed that the chance to find an cysticercotic pig is higher when the age of the pig raises. According to the serologic sampling results, the general prevalence ratio was 47.3±5.6 while the prevalences for each village were 26.5±7.6 for Nueva Esperanza, 72.3±9.5 for Turpo and 54.0±10.5 for Matapuquio. In what respects to in the simulation results, it was found that the real prevalence for the three villages under study would be of 23% and that the 96% of the happenings would be inside the 17% and 29% interval. It is concluded then that, porcine cysticercosis in the Andahuaylas’ villages is a public health problem.
