Overview of Taenia solium cysticercosis in West Africa.

Acta Tropica, 2019
Human and porcine cysticercosis is endemic in West Africa, where epilepsy is relatively common, but rarely reported due to fear of stigmatization. Neurocysticercosis, caused by Taenia solium, tends to affect the poor in developing countries and control ...

The common and uncommon cestodal infestation encountered in routine histopathological practice from a semi-urban population in south India and their public health importance. [PDF]

, 2011
Parasites are encountered uncommonly in routine histopathologic practice. Among them, cestodes form a major bulk. Cysticercosis heads the list forming the bulk of cases followed by Hydatidosis and Sparganosis.

A Rare Manifestation of Cysticercosis Infestation

Acta Medica Indonesiana, 2014
There are many causes of urticaria, which may vary from infections to malignancy. Among the infections, infestations by cysticercosis (larval stage of the tapeworm called Taenia solium) is an important cause.

Effectiveness of a community-based educational programme in reducing the cumulative incidence and prevalence of human Taenia solium cysticercosis in Burkina Faso in 2011–14 (EFECAB): a cluster-randomised controlled trial

Lancet Global Health, 2018
Summary Background The effectiveness of drug-free interventions in controlling human cysticercosis is not well known. We aimed to estimate the effectiveness of a community-based educational intervention in reducing the frequency of human cysticercosis in

Re-visiting the detection of porcine cysticercosis based on full carcass dissections of naturally Taenia solium infected pigs

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
BackgroundTaenia solium is a neglected zoonotic parasite. The performances of existing tools for the diagnosis of porcine cysticercosis need further assessment, and their shortcomings call for alternatives. The objective of this study was to evaluate the

Seroprevalence of porcine cysticercosis in Maharashtra

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019
Porcine cysticercosis is caused by Cysticercus cellulosae, a larval stage of parasite Taenia solium. Humans get infected by consuming eggs of T. solium through contamination of food and water.
