RESUMO
Serological survey was performed to detect IgG antibodies anti-Taenia solium metacestodes in blood donors of Hemocentro Regional de Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil. A total of 1133 sera from blood donors coming from four cities of Triângulo Mineiro area were analyzed by the indirect fluorescence antibody test (IFAT) and the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Specific IgG antibodies were found in 5.6 percent of the studied population, showing differences in the positive rates according to their origin Araguari (13.5 percent), Tupaciguara (5.0 percent), Monte Alegre de Minas (4.8 percent) and Uberlândia (4.7 percent). The results indicate the probable endemicity of cysticercosis in this population
