BACKGROUND: @entity8785 , a @entity2927 transmitted between @entity1 and @entity1707 , is considered an emerging @entity281 in Sub-Saharan Africa, yet individual and community-level factors associated with the @entity1 @entity281 with the larval stages ( @entity3993 ) are not well understood. This study aims to estimate the magnitude of association of individual-level and village-level factors with current @entity1 @entity3993 in 60 villages located in three Provinces of Burkina Faso. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Baseline cross-sectional data collected between February 2011 and January 2012 from a large community randomized-control trial were used. A total of 3609 individuals provided serum samples to assess current @entity281 with @entity3993 . The association between individual and village-level factors and the prevalence of current @entity281 with @entity3993 was estimated using Bayesian hierarchical logistic models. Diffuse priors were used for all regression coefficients. The prevalence of current @entity3993 varied across provinces and villages ranging from 0% to 11.5%. The results obtained suggest that increased age, being male and consuming pork as well as a larger proportion of roaming @entity1707 and percentage of sand in the soil measured at the village level were associated with higher prevalences of @entity281 . Furthermore, consuming pork at another village market had the highest increased prevalence odds of current @entity281 . Having access to a latrine, living in a household with higher wealth quintiles and a higher soil pH measured at the village level decreased the prevalence odds of @entity3993 . CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first large-scale study to examine the association between variables measured at the individual-, household-, and village-level and the prevalence odds of @entity3993 in @entity1 . Factors linked to @entity1 , @entity1707 , and the environment were of importance, which further supports the need for a One Health approach to control @entity281 .
