Abstracts: Taeniasis in bovine’s species is caused by the larval stage of the tape worm. Human beings get infected with the parasite after eating uncooked meat from infected cattle. the cases of T. saginata in humans is considered to be of clinically less important compared to T. solium, another food-borne parasite from the same genus, since it only causes taeniasis, and not cysticercosis like T. solium does. This research work is carried out to determine the effects of sex as a predisposing factor of Teania saginata. This study used a total of 1000 indigenous breed within selected area in Bali. Out of the 1000 samples collected, 713 (71.3%) were found infected with T saginata, whereas 281 (28.1%) were found negative in the whole study area. Out of the 300 sample collected from Bali town, 212 (70.7%) prevalence were found positive whereas 82 (27.33%) were found negative. A total number of 300 sample were collected from Garba Chede out of which 262 (87.3%) were positive and 38 (12.7%) were negative. This results shows that Garba Chede has the highest prevalence rate whereas Mai Hula has the lowest prevalence rate within the study area. The results showed that lowest prevalence 552 (65.8%) was found in male animals and the highest prevalence 448 (78.1%) rate was found in female animals. This study revealed that there is a high prevalence of Teania saginata in the study area. It is therefore recommended that quarterly deworming of cattle should be initiated in the study area.
