Epidemiology of Taenia saginata taeniosis/cysticercosis in the Russian Federation

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Russia is traditionally an endemic area for Taenia saginata infection, where a programme for the prevention of infection has been implemented for sixty years. This paper aims, therefore, to review the recent epidemiology data of Taenia saginata infection
