dc.description.abstractCysticercosis is a disease of farmed and wild animals which is caused by the larval stages (metacestodes) of cestodes of the family Taeniidae (tapeworms), the adult stages of which occur in the intestine of humans, dogs or wild Canidae. This monograph provides etiology, incidence, transmission and epidemiological details of the disease as well as vaccine development strategies. The prevalence of T. solium infection varies greatly according to the level of sanitation, pig husbandry practices and eating habits, where smallholder units are particularly at risk. There is very limited understanding concerning the mechanisms underlying the parasite’s high specificity for pigs and humans.en
