UNASSIGNED: @entity8785 is a zoonotic parasite prevalent in many low income countries throughout Latin America, Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, including Tanzania. The parasite is recognized as a public health threat; however the burden it poses on populations of Tanzania is unknown. The aim of this study was to estimate the societal cost of @entity8785 @entity3993 in Tanzania, by assessing both the health and economic burden. The societal cost of @entity8785 @entity3993 was assessed in @entity1 and @entity1707 based on data obtained by a systematic review. Experts' opinion was sought in cases where data were not retrievable. The health burden was assessed in terms of annual number of @entity6583 ( @entity6583 ) associated @entity302 incident cases, @entity204 and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), while the economic burden was assessed in terms of direct and indirect costs imposed by @entity6583 -associated @entity302 and potential losses due to porcine @entity3993 . Based on data retrieved from the systematic review and burden assessments, @entity8785 @entity3993 contributed to a significant societal cost for the population. The annual number of @entity6583 -associated @entity302 incident cases and @entity204 were 17,853 (95% Uncertainty Interval (UI), 5666-36,227) and 212 (95% UI, 37-612), respectively. More than 11% (95% UI, 6.3-17) of the @entity1707 population was infected with the parasite when using tongue examination as diagnostic method. For the year 2012 the number of DALYs per thousand @entity1 -years for @entity6583 -associated @entity302 was 0.7 (95% UI, 0.2-1.6). Around 5 million USD (95% UI, 797,535-16,933,477) were spent due to @entity6583 -associated @entity302 and nearly 3 million USD (95% UI, 1,095,960-5,366,038) were potentially lost due to porcine @entity3993 . Our results show that @entity8785 imposes a serious public health, agricultural and economic threat for Tanzania. We urge that a One Health approach, which involves the joint collaboration and effort of veterinarians, medical doctors, agricultural extension officers, researchers and relevant governmental agencies, is taken to find sustainable solutions for prevention, control and elimination of @entity8785 .
