ObjectivesTo研究流行的癫痫发作，癫痫和血清阳性囊虫病在农村村民（囊虫病流行的设置），农村到城市的移民到一个非地方性的城市棚户区和城市居民的同一个非地方性shantytown.MethodsThree秘鲁人口（n=985）最初招募到一项关于慢性疾病和移民的研究进行了研究。这些群体包括来自流行地区的农村居民（n=200），长期从农村到城市的移民（n=589）和生活在同一城市环境中的个人（n=196）。通过调查发现癫痫发作障碍，并由神经科医生检查阳性应答者。从981/985个人的血清样本进行处理囊虫抗体免疫blot. Results癫痫患病率（每1000人）为15.3在城市组，35.6在流动人口和25在农村居民。囊虫抗体阳性率呈梯度分布，城市为2%，流动人口为13.5%，农村为18%（P
ObjectivesTo examine the prevalence of seizures, epilepsy and seropositivity to cysticercosis in rural villagers (cysticercosis-endemic setting), rural-to-urban migrants into a non-endemic urban shanty town and urban inhabitants of the same non-endemic shanty town.MethodsThree Peruvian populations (n=985) originally recruited into a study about chronic diseases and migration were studied. These groups included rural inhabitants from an endemic region (n=200), long-term rural-to-urban migrants (n=589) and individuals living in the same urban setting (n=196). Seizure disorders were detected by a survey, and a neurologist examined positive respondents. Serum samples from 981/985 individuals were processed for cysticercosis antibodies on immunoblot.ResultsEpilepsy prevalence (per 1000 people) was 15.3 in the urban group, 35.6 in migrants and 25 in rural inhabitants. A gradient in cysticercosis antibody seroprevalence was observed: urban 2%, migrant 13.5% and rural group 18% (P
