Evaluation of an Antibody Detecting Point of Care Test for Diagnosis of <i>Taenia solium</i> Cysticercosis in a Zambian Rural Community: A Prospective Diagnostic Accuracy Study

The lack of cheap, easy-to-use, rapid diagnostic tests has led to the development of several rapid diagnostic tests for cysticercosis. The new prototype two-strip, <i>Taenia solium</i> point of care test (TS POC) detects antibodies against taeniosis (TS POC T) and cysticercosis (TS POC C...
