FLISSER, Ana. Cysticercosis: neglected disease. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2011, vol.68, n.2, pp.138-145. ISSN 1665-1146.

Human neurocysticercosis is a disease associated with underdevelopment and occurs in countries with poor health infrastructure and poor health education. Despite the fact that human cysticercosis is considered a neglected disease, in this paper the events that have facilitated its control in Mexico are described. Therefore, it can be considered that neurocysticercosis may no longer be a public health problem in our country.
