Geographic correlation between tapeworm carriers and heavily infected cysticercotic pigs.
<h4>Background</h4>Neurocysticercosis is a leading cause of preventable epilepsy in the developing world. Sustainable community-based interventions are urgently needed to control transmission of the causative parasite, Taenia solium. We examined the geospatial relationship between live p...
