===Pigs===
The intervention strategies to eradicate cysticercosis includes surveillance of pigs in foci of transmission and massive chemotherapy treatment of humans.<ref name=TaskForce92 /> In reality, control of ''T. solium'' by a single intervention, for instance, by treating only human population will not work because the existing infected pigs can still carry on the cycle. The proposed strategy for eradication is to do multilateral intervention by treating both human and porcine populations.<ref name=Gonzalez03>{{cite journal |vauthors=Gonzalez AE, García HH, Gilman RH, Tsang VC |title=Control of ''Taenia solium'' |journal=Acta Trop. |volume=87 |issue=1 |pages=103–9 |date=June 2003 |pmid=12781384 |doi=10.1016/S0001-706X(03)00025-1}}</ref> It is feasible because treating pigs with [[oxfendazole]] has been shown to be effective and once treated, pigs are protected from further infections for at least 3 months.<ref name="fifteen">{{cite journal |vauthors=Gonzalez AE, Gavidia C, Falcon N, et al. |title=Protection of pigs with cysticercosis from further infections after treatment with oxfendazole |journal=Am.
