Here I review the current status of geographical occurrence and public health significance of echinococcosis (Echinococcus spp. infections) and cysticercosis (Taenia solium infection) with special emphasis on the remarkable technologic progress achieved in recent decades that has led to greater understanding of the biology and epidemiology of these cestode infections. The greatest remaining challenges are to apply this knowledge and technology to improved medical management and prevention of these infections.
在此，我回顾了棘球蚴病（棘球绦虫属感染）和囊尾蚴病（猪带绦虫感染）的地理分布现状及公共卫生意义，特别强调了近几十年来取得的显著技术进步，这些进步使我们对这些绦虫感染的生物学和流行病学有了更深入的了解。目前最大的挑战是如何将这些知识和技术应用于改善这些感染的医疗管理和预防工作。
