BACKGROUND: Human cysticercosis is a zoonotic disease causing severe health disorders and even death. While prevalence data become available worldwide, incidence rate and cumulative incidence figures are lacking, which ...
Neurocysticercosis as a Cause of Epilepsy and Seizures in Two Community-Based Studies in a Cysticercosis-Endemic Region in Peru
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Background: The prevalence of epilepsy added to inadequate treatment results in chronic morbidity and considerable mortality in poor populations. Neurocysticercosis (NCC), a helminthic disease of the central nervous system, ...

Neurocysticercosis in nonendemic countries: Time for a reappraisal
(Karger, 2012)
The cystic larvae of Taenia solium frequently invade the human nervous system and cause neurocysticercosis (NCC). Infection occurs when humans ingest tapeworm eggs from a Taenia carrier through the fecal-oral route, and ...
