A scoping review of burden of disease studies estimating disability-adjusted life years due to Taenia solium. by Andrew Larkins, Mieghan Bruce, Carlotta Di Bari, Brecht Devleesschauwer, David M Pigott, Amanda Ash

This method relies heavily on the extrapolation of observational studies across populations and time periods; however, it is currently required due to the difficulties in diagnosing neurocysticercosis. …”
