Impact of Health Education Interventions for Control of <i>Taenia solium</i> Cysticercosis/Taeniasis in Endemic Countries: A Systematic Review. [PDF]

Public Health Chall
This systematic review assessed health education interventions for controlling Taenia solium taeniasis/cysticercosis. Of 392 studies screened, 21 met the inclusion criteria. Findings showed that community‐based education improved knowledge, attitudes and practices, with short‐term behavioural changes and reduced prevalence, although long‐term impact ...

Risk factors for Taenia solium taeniasis: A case-control study in Lao PDR. [PDF]

Trop Med Int Health
Abstract Introduction Neurocysticercosis due to Taenia solium is the leading cause of epilepsy in low and middle‐income countries yet remains under investigated in Lao PDR (Laos). People shedding T. solium eggs or proglottids from the adult tapeworm are the source of infection for those with cysticercosis.

Comparison of a new multiplex real-time PCR with the Kato Katz thick smear and copro-antigen ELISA for the detection and differentiation of Taenia spp. in human stools. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Taenia solium, the cause of neurocysticercosis (NCC), has significant socioeconomic impacts on communities in developing countries. This disease, along with taeniasis is estimated to infect 2.5 to 5 million people globally. Control of T.

Taenia larvae possess distinct acetylcholinesterase profiles with implications for host cholinergic signalling.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Larvae of the cestodes Taenia solium and Taenia crassiceps infect the central nervous system of humans. Taenia solium larvae in the brain cause neurocysticercosis, the leading cause of adult-acquired epilepsy worldwide.

Taenia solium in the Anterior Chamber: Surgical Management of a Rare Case of Live Free-Floating Parasite

Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine, 2021
Ocular cysticercosis is a preventable cause of blindness. It is a parasitic infestation caused by Cysticercus cellulosae—which is the larval form of Taenia solium. In 1829, Soemmering reported the first case of a live anterior chamber cysticercosis.
