The epidemiology and spatial distribution of Taenia solium taeniosis and cysticercosis in Kenya: The case of Busia County
The study indicated the presence of TSTC transmission in Western Kenya and identified Busia County as a high-risk area based on multiple layers of evidence. This mixed approach utilized readily available data to generate new evidence that could support sustainable One Health strategies for interrupting the T. solium transmission cycle.
