One Health-ness Evaluation of Cysticercosis Surveillance Design in Portugal.

ABSTRACT: The increasing occurrence of human cysticercosis, a zoonotic neglected disease, is challenging the traditional prevention and control paradigm and calling for One Health (OH) solutions in industrialized countries.
