We tested refugee camp residents on the Thailand–Myanmar border for Taenia solium infection. Taeniasis prevalence was consistent with that for other disease-endemic regions, but seropositivity indicating T. solium taeniasis was rare. Seropositivity indicating cysticercosis was 5.5% in humans and 3.2% in pigs. Corralling pigs and providing latrines may control transmission of these tapeworms within this camp. 2018-01-24T04:39:28Z 2018-01-24T04:39:28Z 2015-09-01 Journal 10806059 10806040 2-s2.0-84942091732 10.3201/eid2110.141657 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=84942091732&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/44217
