The Pandemonium of Cysticercosis in Humans

Abstract

The pandemonium of cysticercosis in human has pulled the focus of WHO to develop a guideline and promote actions to prevent the causes of epilepsy by taenia worms affecting human health, leading to stigmatization and discrimination and increases public health interventions. In most developing countries such as Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, cysticercosis mainly affects the health and livelihoods of agrarian farmers, resulting in devastating effects on their health through the ingestion of the parasite’s larval cysts in undercooked infected pork or contaminated water. Though, as one of the neglected zoonotic diseases, potentially eradicable yet it is now becoming an emerging disease with approximately 50 million people globally infected.
