Foodborne Parasitic Diseases in Europe: Social Cost-Benefit Analyses of Interventions

Lucy J Robertson et al. Trends Parasitol. 2018 Nov.

Abstract

Social cost-benefit analysis (SCBA) can be used to evaluate the benefit to society as a whole of a particular intervention. Describing preliminary steps of an SCBA for two foodborne parasitic diseases, echinococcosis and cryptosporidiosis, indicates where data are needed in order to identify those interventions of greatest benefit.

Keywords: Cryptosporidium; DALY; Echinococcus; foodborne parasites; social cost-benefit analyses.
