摘要

Histopathological specimen of a neurocysticercosis patient, who had been living in several endemic countries, was retrospectively analyzed for assessing the origin of the infection. Mitochondrial DNA analysis strongly suggested that the patient became infected with the parasite in Nepal at least 10 years before the onset of the disease.
