Abstract: Bovine cysticercosis is an infection of cattle caused by Cysticercus bovis, the larval stage of Taenia saginata. This study was conducted in Arjo Gudetu, Sasiga, Nekemte abattoir from November 2019 to April 2020 with the objective of assessing the prevalence, economic loss of abattoir-based Cysticercus bovis and community knowledge, attitudes and perception of taeniasis thorough cross-sectional study design. The study revealed that out of the total 534 cattle examined 16 (3%) were found infected with cysticercus bovis harboring one or more cysticercus. Of the total 36 collected cysts 16 (44.4%) were viable while others 20(55.5%) were degenerated and dead cysts in which it was more prevalent in the shoulder 12(33.3%), liver 8(22.2%), Tongue 6(16.6%), Masseter muscle 6(16.6%), Heart 3 (8.3%) and Diaphragm 1(2.7%). Both male 12/534 (2.22%) and female 4/534(0.78%) were infected in which male more infected than female. Cysticercus bovis infection was found 4/181(2.2%) in adults and 12/353 (3.4%) older aged. Body condition, sex, Origin and agerelated infection of the parasite have no statistical significance variation (p = 0.448, x² = 0.877, df =1, p = 0.768, x² = 0.423, df =1, P=0.950, x² = 0.423, df =2, p = 0.445, x² = 0.423, df =1), respectively. An inventory of pharmaceutical shops revealed that total annual economic loss of 164,110 ETB with an average of 82055 ETB from Taenicidal drug cost was estimated per annum. Out of 300 respondents, 60.91% percentage had contracted Taenia saginata at least once in the past years. The prevalence was significantly higher in males (47.36%) than females (24.17) (p = 0.000) in wakefeta (58.33%) than in Orthodox (44.00%), protestant (39.65%) and Muslim (17.14%) communities (p = 0.008) and also higher prevalence (50.92%) was observed in respondents that slaughter at their home in grade1- 5(58.02%) than in other level of educations (p = 0.000) in raw meat consumers than non- consumers (p = 0.00) and there was a high statical significant associations (p = 0.006) between source of carcasses and prevalence of taeniasis. There was no statistically significant association (p>0.05) observed in the prevalence of Taeniasis between age, latrine usage, marital status and site of respondents. The finding indicated that there was importance of cysticercosis and taenias is both in economic and public health aspects. Therefore, high attention should be given for awareness rising, improvement of public sanitary conditions and strict routinemeat inspection procedures should be undertaken to minimize the impact of Taenia saginata in the study areas.
