Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The current findings suggest the widespread presence of human tapeworm carriers and thus a high risk of human cysticercosis in both rural areas and urban centres in the ESA region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing for clinical anaemia caused by Haemonchus spp. in goats farmed under resource-poor conditions in South Africa using an eye colour chart developed for sheep.
TL;DR: The validation of the FAMACHA system for goats for use by resource-poor farmers, which this paper describes, may have wide application in the tropics and subtropics of sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Several studies have revealed high prevalence rates in children and interestingly, patients with active cysts suffering from epilepsy, and a startling mode of transmission is where self-trained healers use Taenia segments either for benevolent or malevolent purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
