A Spatial Autocorrelation Method for Taenia solium Risk Mapping: The Case of Lao PDR [PDF]

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023
Background: The World Health Organization has identified Taenia solium mapping tools as an important development for intensifying control in hyperendemic areas. Taenia solium has also been identified as a priority by the Lao PDR government.

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.

Intraventricular Taenia solium Neurocysticercosis: A Report of Three Cases

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2011
Neurocysticercosis (NCC), caused by the pork tapeworm Taenia solium, is reported to be a common condition in Nepal. So far imaging diagnosis was mainstay of the diagnosis.

Proteomic analysis of Taenia solium cysticercus and adult stages [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Taenia solium (T. solium) cysticercosis is a neglected parasitic zoonosis that occurs in developing countries. Since T. solium has a complex life cycle that includes eggs, oncospheres, cysticerci, and adults, presumably many proteins are produced that ...

Molecular Confirmation of Taenia solium Taeniasis in Child, Timor-Leste [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We report a case of Taenia solium taeniasis in a 10-year-old child in Timor-Leste, confirmed by molecular analysis, suggesting T. solium transmission to humans is occurring in Timor-Leste. Proactive measures are needed to improve public understanding of

Application of Ziehl Neelsen Staining Method for Taenia spp. Eggs Differentiation

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2022
Background: Three of Taenia species, named Taenia saginata, T. solium and T. asiatica can be found in Indonesia, but only T. solium can lead to neurocysticercosis. The morphology of those 3 Taenia spp.

Taenia solium taeniasis and cysticercosis: extinction or outbreak

Animal Diseases, 2023
Taenia solium taeniasis and cysticercosis are neglected zoonotic diseases that affect human health and economies of developing countries. In this work, we formulate and analyze deterministic and continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) stochastic models to ...

Diagnosis of Taenia solium infections based on "mail order" RNA-sequencing of single tapeworm egg isolates from stool samples.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Combined community health programs aiming at health education, preventive anti-parasitic chemotherapy, and vaccination of pigs have proven their potential to regionally reduce and even eliminate Taenia solium infections that are associated with a high ...

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.
