Neurocysticercosis is still prevalent in Mexico La neurocisticercosis es aún prevalente en México

In this work, we report the published cases of human and porcine cysticercosis, as well as Taenia solium taeniasis diagnosed in Mexico during the last 10 years. Numerical data allow us to state that this disease remains as a public health problem in our country. Whereas efficient tools have been dev...
