Chad Cross, Brianna Rivera (both Epidemiology and Biostatistics), and Francisco Sy (Environmental and Occupational Health) published a paper titled, "Descriptive Epidemiological Analysis of Cestode Infections in Nevada: Characterizing Patients and Analyzing Trends using Patient Utilization Records, 2013-2019," in the Nevada Journal of Public Health.
There is relatively little coverage of cestode disease burden in the U.S., and none, to our knowledge, for Nevada or that have utilized discharge data for analysis. This study represents an important, novel examination of tapeworm parasitic disease.
Rivera is a graduate student.
