  Evaluation Summary:

  Basic epidemiological parameters such as the force of infection (rate at which susceptible individuals acquire the infection) remain undetermined for human infection with the neglected food-borne zoonotic cestode Taenia solium, which may cause taeniasis and cysticercosis. Dixon and colleagues address this major gap by fitting simple mathematical models to datasets that describe the prevalence of taeniasis and cysticercosis in several countries. Importantly, they found that infection acquisition rates per year vary widely (up to two orders of magnitude) across endemic settings and provide an approach for mapping the global public health impact of taeniasis and cysticercosis.
