Transcriptome analysis of Taenia solium cysticerci using Open Reading Frame ESTs (ORESTES) [PDF]

, 2009
Background Human infection by the pork tapeworm Taenia solium affects more than 50 million people worldwide, particularly in underdeveloped and developing countries. Cysticercosis which arises from larval encystation can be life threatening and difficult

Risk factors for Taenia solium taeniasis: A case-control study in Lao PDR. [PDF]

Trop Med Int Health
Abstract Introduction Neurocysticercosis due to Taenia solium is the leading cause of epilepsy in low and middle‐income countries yet remains under investigated in Lao PDR (Laos). People shedding T. solium eggs or proglottids from the adult tapeworm are the source of infection for those with cysticercosis.

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.

Taenia solium Human Cysticercosis: A Systematic Review of Sero-epidemiological Data from Endemic Zones around the World [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Taenia solium cysticercosis is a zoonotic neglected disease responsible for severe health disorders such as seizures and death. Understanding the epidemiology of human cysticercosis (HCC) in endemic regions will help to expose critical ...

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.

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.

Taenia solium in the Anterior Chamber: Surgical Management of a Rare Case of Live Free-Floating Parasite

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.
