Abstract
The most common diseases caused by larval cestodes, neurocysticerosis and echinococcosis, are widespread in many developing countries. The combined effects of improved diagnostic technology and increasing migration from areas where these diseases are endemic to industrialized countries lead to continuing 'epidemics' of diagnosis of these diseases in both developing and industrialized countries. Applications of modern radiologic imaging, immunologic diagnosis, and molecular biology are providing new options for clinical management of these diseases, leading to re-evaluation of concepts of taxonomy and epidemiology.
