About statistics:

This page presents a variety of statistics about Cysticercosis. The term 'prevalence' of Cysticercosis usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Cysticercosis at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Cysticercosis refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Cysticercosis diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
