Statistics by Country for Toxocariasis
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Toxocariasis:
These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates
against the populations of a particular country or region.
The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Toxocariasis are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian statistics.
This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences
across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Toxocariasis statistics below refer to.
As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication)
as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Toxocariasis in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Toxocariasis: The word 'prevalence' of Toxocariasis usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Toxocariasis at any given time (i.e. people with Toxocariasis). The term 'incidence' of Toxocariasis means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Toxocariasis diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Toxocariasis). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short 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. |
Incidence (annual) of Toxocariasis: estimated 10,000 annual cases in USA (DPD)
Incidence Rate for Toxocariasis: approx 1 in 27,200 or 0.00% or 10,000 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Toxocariasis to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Toxocariasis to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Toxocariasis are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual incidence of Toxocariasis in any region:
