The taeniasis-cysticercosis complex is a zoonosis of animal and human health importance, and for the world economy. The presence of poor hygienic and sanitary and socioeconomic characteristics, observed in the Northeast of Brazil, makes it the endemic region for various infectious and parasitic diseases. Thus, prevalence studies, analysis of spatial distribution and characteristics of the population affected by the taeniasis-cysticercosis complex is required not only to measure the morbidity associated with these parasites, but also to generate data for planning control actions directed to population at risk. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, epidemiology profile and spatial distribution of the taeniasis-cysticercosis complex in the rural municipalities of Barro Preto, Ilhéus, Itabuna and Itajuípe, located in the South Coast Region of the state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2012 involving 207 farms of these four municipalities. Serum samples was collected from 1,663 bovine and 46 pigs raised at home and 332 human stool samples. The diagnosis of animal cysticercosis was performed using the indirect ELISA and Immunoblot confirmatory test. The diagnosis of taeniasis was performed using the spontaneous sedimentation test (Hoffman method, Pons and Janer) and sieving. The prevalence of bovine cysticercosis in the region was 24.6 %, 22.0 % of swine cysticercosis. Cases of bovine cysticercosis were agglomerated in the population while cases of swine cysticercosiBovines had a dispersed distribution. Characteristics such as lack of knowledge about cysticercosis and its relationship with taeniasis, open sewers, animals being given river water contaminated with sewage, illegal slaughter and eating undercooked meat were observed in the population. The logistic regression analysis allowed us to identify as the risk factors the variable city (Itabuna OR=3.15 and Itajuípe OR=2.40) associated with bovine cysticercosis. The presence of free-roaming pigs was identified as an risk factor for swine cysticercosis. Itajuípe showed the highest prevalence for sampled property of cysticercosis researched, different from Barro Preto, which showed the lowest prevalence. This research identified the need to implement control measures for the taeniasis-cysticercosis complex, taking into account the favorable characteristics for the permanence of this injuries in the cities studied.
