An Epizootic of Bovine Cysticercosis

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1975
SUMMARY In March, 1973, a large feedlot near Phoenix, AZ, reported an increased incidence of bovine cysticercosis. Approximately 10% of cattle sent to slaughter from January to April, 1973, were infected with the cysticercus stage of Taenia saginata.

Distribution of bovine cysticercosis in Washington

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1989
SUMMARY Data from slaughter plants (n = 3) and feedlots (n = 18) in eastern Washington were analyzed to characterize occurrence patterns of cysticercosis in Washington during 1984. Three concurrent peaks in cysticercosis rates (0.6/1,000 to 5/1,000 slaughtered cattle) were detected at 3 slaughter plants.

Bovine cysticercosis and human taeniasis in a rural community in Ethiopia

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2020
Bovine cysticercosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease that affects cattle caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia saginata, the adult parasite that causes taeniasis in humans. Although bovine cysticercosis, and the associated human taeniasis, is

Histological Observations on Bovine Cysticercosis

Research in Veterinary Science, 1961
SUMMARY The results of some histological studies on Cysticercus bovis are recorded. The rate of growth of C. bovis in calves was found to be highly variable during the first month after infection. The host reaction is an acute inflammatory response, becoming chronic after 2 months.

A Potential Diagnostic Reagent for Bovine Cysticercosis

The Journal of Parasitology, 1985
A fraction of larval Taenia hydatigena cyst fluid was shown to have high sensitivity and specificity in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of bovine antibodies to the heterologous parasite Taenia saginata. This antigenically active lipoprotein fraction was isolated by ultracentrifugal density flotation using either ammonium

An Outbreak of Bovine Cysticercosis in California

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1978
Approximately 4.75% of the animals sent to slaughter from a southern California feedlot during a 9-mo period were found to be infected with the cysticercus of Taenia saginata. An investigation of possible transmission sources revealed that the feedlot was the most likely site of infection. One feedlot worker was found to be infected with T.

Bovine cysticercosis outbreak in an indoor beef finisher farm in the North of England

Veterinary Record Case Reports, 2020
Bovine cysticercosis is a parasitic infection of cattle caused by the human tapeworm Taenia saginata. Bovine cysticercosis was identified by meat inspection in 4.7 per cent (18 out of 380) of the cattle submitted for slaughter, over an 8-month period ...

Construction of standardized surveillance indicators for bovine cysticercosis

Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2014
Bovine cysticercosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease due to Cysticercus bovis. This study aimed to identify factors that could have an impact on the prevalence of cysticercosis and to use them to build standardized indicators of prevalence. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed on data from 4,564,065 cattle (91.3% of the cattle ...

Prevalence of bovine cysticercosis in slaughtered cattle in Iran

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2009
Bovine cysticercosis is an important food safety issue and can cause economic loss. A cross sectional study on Taenia saginata cysticercosis was carried out in slaughtered cattle in Iran in order to determine the infection rate during a three-years period, from 2005 to 2007. A total of 4,534,105 cattle were examined by routine meat inspection.
