Cysticercosis and echinococcosis cause illness and productivity losses in human and agricultural animal populations. Recent studies suggest that these diseases have large societal impacts on endemic areas. Estimates of burden provide essential, evidence-based data for conducting cost-benefit and cost-utility analyses that will secure political will, and financial and technical resources. To evaluate the burden, the monetary and non-monetary impacts of these zoonoses on human health, agriculture and society must be considered comprehensively. In this article, we review the framework used to assess the burden of cysticercosis and echinococcosis, and the data needed to estimate the extent of the problem for societies.
囊尾蚴病和棘球蚴病会导致人类和家畜患病并造成生产力损失。近期研究表明，这些疾病对流行地区具有重大的社会影响。疾病负担估计为开展成本效益分析和成本效用分析提供了重要的、基于证据的数据，这些分析将有助于争取政治意愿以及获取财政和技术资源。为评估疾病负担，必须全面考虑这些人畜共患病对人类健康、农业和社会的货币及非货币影响。在本文中，我们回顾了用于评估囊尾蚴病和棘球蚴病负担的框架，以及估算社会层面问题严重程度所需的数据。
