Cysticercosis: neglected disease

Autor: Flisser Steinbruch Ana

Resumen

Human neurocysticercosis is a disease associated with underdevelopment and occurs in countries with poor health infrastructure and poor health education. Despite the fact that human cysticercosis is considered a neglected disease, events that have facilitated its control in Mexico are described in this paper. Therefore, it can be considered that neurocysticercosis may no longer be a public health problem in our country.
