**4. Risk factors for bovine cysticercosis (BCC)**

Bovine cysticercosis is a disease that affects cattle and is caused by a parasite called *T. saginata.* Identified risk factors include herd/farm-related, feed-related, and animal-related factors. Age and gender of animals are correlated with the occurrence of bovine cysticercosis. Environmental contamination is the main cause of BCC cases (**Figure 3**).
