Prevalence of anti-cysticercus antibodies in different population groups was found to be 17.3% with highest prevalence (24%) reported from slum areas followed by that of rural areas (20%) and least in the urban organized sectors (8%). Only 8% of the seropositive individuals had history suggestive of neurocysticercosis. Overall, females showed the highest anti-cysticercus response of 20.4%.
