Objective: The present article proposes to analyze through a bibliographic review of human cysticercosis at the of Latin America and in Ecuador, highlighting the most relevant characteristics of Taenia solium, which is the parasite that produces this disease; such as the life cycle, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, socioeconomic problem, as well as diagnostic techniques, infection mechanisms, treatment and control programs that have been has been carried out in various developed countries with the aim of eradicating the disease. Context: Cysticercosis human is a zoonotic disease which is produced by the accidental consumption of T. solium eggs; This can cause serious health problems and even death. While prevalence data are available throughout the world, the incidence rate and the cumulative incidence figures are insufficient, which limits the understanding of the T. solium epidemiology is considered as one of the infections that occurs most frequently in the system nervous; It is also endemic in several countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa. Methodology: This article was carried out a bibliographic review of the information available on cysticercosis and its causative parasite T. solium; as well as the control programs that were carried out in the developed countries and that managed to eradicate this disease.
