Unfortunately, diagnostic challenges impede control efforts in many low and middle\u2010income countries.

There must be an improved understanding of the distribution and frequency of <jats:italic>T. solium<\/jats:italic> if disease control efforts are to be intensified to reduce the burden of neurocysticercosis, as encouraged by WHO and others. It is hoped that this can be achieved through non\u2010biological risk mapping tools and the more frequent application of molecular tools to routine sample collection.
