- Juan Carlos Salvitti's research primarily focuses on the epidemiology, prevalence, and control of cystic echinococcosis (CE), a neglected zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus, in rural regions of Argentina and Chile, emphasizing its significant socioeconomic impact on livestock-dependent communities.
- His studies have utilized community-based abdominal ultrasound surveys, risk factor assessments, and surveillance programs to identify hotspots of transmission and evaluate control strategies, including the implementation of vaccines and deworming programs for dogs.
- Through comprehensive investigations, including economic impact assessments and the follow-up of cases in asymptomatic carriers, Salvitti has contributed to a better understanding of CE's burden and has highlighted the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in endemic areas.
