Detection of high endemic and zoonotic risk areas regarding the infestation with Taenia solium larvae in pigs in Romania
In Romania, it is necessary to collect recent data on the prevalence of swine cysticercosis, to detect areas of high endemicity and zoonotic risk, to prevent economic losses through proper implementation of control programs. A retrospective epidemiological study was performed during the period 2009-...
