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

Sympatric Occurrence of Taenia solium, T. saginata, and T. asiatica, Thailand
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 We confirmed sympatric occurrence of Taenia solium, T. saginata, and T. asiatica in western Thailand. DNA analysis of morphologically identified T. saginata, in a dual infection with T. solium, indicated it was T. asiatica.
