Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2007
Free-floating right heart thrombi are rare echocardiographic findings usually encountered in patients with massive pulmonary embolism and associated with poor prognosis. We report a case of a large free-floating right heart thrombus without clinically significant pulmonary embolism.

Cysticercosis and taeniosis: Taenia solium, Taenia saginata and Taenia asiatica
2011The pork and beef tapeworms, Taenia solium and Taenia saginata respectively, are taeniid cestodes and major food-borne or meat-borne zoonoses. Human tapeworms and swine cysticerci have been known since Egyptian and Greek cultures. Nevertheless their association as part of the life cycle of the same parasite was only demonstrated during the nineteenth ...

Taeniid cestodes infect humans and livestock, causing considerable morbidity and mortality, as well as economic loss. Substantial progress has been made toward the production of recombinant vaccines against cysticercosis in livestock animals. Further development of these vaccines would be aided if a reliable in vitro test were available to measure host-

Differentiation of Taenia saginata and Taenia solium by enzyme electrophoresis
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1977Forty-four Taenia saginata and seven T. solium specimens were collected in Nigeria. Extracts of these worms and of their metacestodes were compared by enzyme electrophoresis. The mobility of glucose phosphate isomerase was consistently faster with T. saginata than with T. solium. Extracts of the strobilate and cysticercus forms of the same species gave

Evidence of hybridization between Taenia saginata and Taenia asiatica
Parasitology International, 2010There has long been a debate as to the specific status of the cestode Taenia asiatica, with some people regarding it as a distinct species and some preferring to recognize it as a strain of Taenia saginata. The balance of current opinion seems to be that T. asiatica is a distinct species.

Recent hybridization between Taenia asiatica and Taenia saginata
Parasitology International, 2012Five Taenia tapeworms collected from humans in Tibetan Plateau, Sichuan, China, where three species of human Taenia are sympatrically endemic, were examined for the mitochondrial cox1 gene and two nuclear genes, ef1 and elp. Phylogenetic analyses of these genes revealed that two adult worms showed nuclear-mitochondrial discordance, suggesting that they

Cysticercosis and taeniosis: Taenia saginata, Taenia soliumq and Asian Taenia
1998Abstract This chapter reviews current knowledge of the taxonomy, epidemiology, diagnosis, therapeutic regimens, and potential control strategies for human Taenia spp. The recently identified Asian Taenia is compared with Taenia saginata and Taenia solium, both named in the eighteenth century.

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2000
Cysticercosis, the infection of the larval tissue stage of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, is endemic to most developing countries and increasingly is seen in industrialized countries because of immigration. Human infection is a major cause of acquired epilepsy, and porcine infection causes important economic losses to farm workers.
