Cysticercosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease which seriously endangers people's health. It is distributed in 27 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) of China, and has a high incidence rate in Northeast, North China, northwest and southwest. There are about 2 million to 3 million cysticercosis patients in China. Cysticercosis is a disease caused by the larva of Taenia solium parasitizing human tissues such as brain and eyes. Invasion of the brain is the most common, others can be parasitic in subcutaneous tissue, muscles and eyes. Taeniworm is the only source of infection, and the incidence rate is high in young adults.
