Abstract
Pig cysticercosis is an infection caused by the larval stage of pork tapeworm and Papua is one of thelargest endemic areas of cysticercosis in Indonesia. This survey aim was to determine the seroprevalenceof pig cystisercosis in Papua. A total of 311 pig serum samples collected from six regencies in Papuawereexamined using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA). The result of the survey showed that theaverage seroprevalence of pig cysticercosis in Papua was 23.5% (73/311), where the highestseroprevalencewas found in the regency of Jayawijaya was 42.6% (43/101), Biak 22.5% (9/40), Nabire 20.6% (7/34),Mimika 17% (8/47), Jayapura 13.5% (5/37), and Merauke 1.9% (1/52). It can be concluded that theseroprevalence of pig cysticercosis in Papua is still high, therefore, it is necessary to do more intensiveprograms to prevent and control this disease.

Summary
Desember 2012 yang diperoleh dari enam kabupaten di Papua, yaitu Kabupaten Mimika 47 sampel, Biak 40 sampel, Merauke 52 sampel, Jayapura 37 sampel, Nabire 34 sampel, dan Jayawijaya 101 sampel. Semua serum (311 sampel) dikirim dari Papua dalam boks yang berisi pendingin ke FKH Unud, selanjutnya diuji menggunakan ELISA di Lab Virologi Veteriner, FKH Unud. Kalkulasi Data Data optical density (OD) dari kontrol negatif (KN/serum negatif) dan kontrol positif (KP), dicari rataannya, kemudian dihitung ratio OD sampel (S) terhadap rataan KP (P) menurut rumus : Rasio S/P = (Rataan ODsampel – Rataan ODKN) x (Rataan ODKP – Rataan ODKN)-1. Evaluasi dan Perhitungan Seroprevalensi Sampel serum dengan rasio S/P
