CABI Publishing (Verlag)
978-0-85199-628-8 (ISBN)
Taenia solium cysticercosis is a parasitic disease caused by the dissemination of the larval form of the pork tapeworm and affects an estimated 50 million people worldwide. It is endemic in several developing countries, including many in Central and South America, Africa and South Asia. Through increased immigration and international travel, it is also of emerging significance in developed countries such as the USA.This book, written by international leading experts in the field, covers the basic science and clinical aspects of Taenia solium, its pathology, investigational aspects of neurocysticercosis, and therapy and prevention
