Movements of Free-Range Pigs in Rural Communities in Zambia: An Explorative Study Towards Future Ring Interventions for the Control of Taenia Solium

2022-02-02

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> <italic>Taenia solium</italic> typically affects resource-poor communities where pigs are allowed to roam freely, and sanitation and hygiene levels are suboptimal. Sustainable, long-term strategies are urgently needed to control the disease. Geographically targeted interventions, i.e., screening or treatment of taeniosis among people living near infected pigs (d...
