Abstract

Lack of knowledge is one of the main risk factors for the spread of the zoonotic parasite Taenia solium. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp computer-based health-education tool ‘»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp Vicious Wormâ€� was developed to create awareness and provide evidence-based health education as a specific measure in control strategies. To increase the reach of the tool, a new version in Swahili was developed and can now be downloaded for free from http://theviciousworm.sites.ku.dk.

This work arises from the Zoonoses and Emerging Livestock Systems (ZELS) programme.
