The Genome Project of Taenia solium [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008 We have constituted a consortium of key laboratories at the National Autonomous University of Mexico to carry out a genomic project for Taenia solium. This project will provide powerful resources for the study of taeniasis/cysticercosis, and, in conjunction with the Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis genome project of expressed ...

Taenia solium cysticercosis [PDF]
The Lancet, 2003 The larval stage of the pork tapeworm (Taenia solium) infects the human nervous system, causing neurocysticercosis. This disease is one of the main causes of epileptic seizures in many less developed countries and is also increasingly seen in more developed countries because of immigration from endemic areas.

Taenia solium in Europe: Still endemic? [PDF]
Acta Tropica, 2017 The pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, causes an important economic and health burden, mainly in rural or marginalized communities of sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin-America. Although improved pig rearing conditions seem to have eliminated the parasite in most Western European countries, little is known about the true endemicity status of T.

Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine, 2021 Ocular cysticercosis is a preventable cause of blindness. It is a parasitic infestation caused by Cysticercus cellulosae—which is the larval form of Taenia solium. In 1829, Soemmering reported the first case of a live anterior chamber cysticercosis.

Vaccination against Taenia solium cysticercosis [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001 Taenia solium is a parasite that causes human cysticercosis. Its life cycle includes the adult stage, the egg and the larval stage. Human cysticercosis is a disease related to underdevelopment, the main clinical manifestation is neurocysticercosis. Control measures include mass cestocidal treatment aimed to cure possible taeniosis cases.

NEUROCISTICERCOSIS: UNA ENFERMEDAD QUE NO DEBEMOS OLVIDAR.
Galicia Clínica, 2017 La cisticercosis es una infección causada por Cysticercus cellulosae, la larva del helminto Taenia solium o “tenia del cerdo”. Taenia solium puede producir dos formas de infección: Teniasis intestinal (tenias maduras) e infestación por cisticercos que ...

Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health, 2019 Carriers of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, are the sole source of neurocysticercosis, a parasitic tissue infection that can be chronic and severe. Identifying T. solium tapeworm carriers is challenging.

TAENIA SOLIUM IN THE ANTERIOR CHAMBER [PDF]
Australian Journal of Opthalmology, 1978 SummaryA case of the cestode, Taenia Solium, occurring in the anterior chamber, is presented. The usual presentation is that of the cystic stage, cysticercus cellulosa, occurring in the retina or vitreous. This case is particularly interesting since anterior chamber occurrence is rare and in addition, the cystic stage has been circumvented and the worm
