The genome project of Taenia solium
Parasitology International, 2006We 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 is distributed throughout the world and coincides with the raising of pigs, especially in areas where human feces are used as fertilizer. In parts of Southeast Asia, Micronesia, the Philippines, Mexico, Central America (particularly Guatemala), South America (particularly Ecuador), and eastern Europe, the infection is endemic.

Gene structure of Taenia solium paramyosin
Parasitology Research, 2003Paramyosin is a muscle protein that probably plays a role in the survival of the larval stage of Taenia solium during its prolonged host-parasite relationship. Here we describe the structure of the gene coding for the paramyosin of T. solium. The characterization of two clones obtained from a genomic library showed that the complete gene of paramyosin ...

Morphological types of Taenia solium cysticerci
Parasitology Today, 1989In human brain cysticercosis, there are three morphological types of cysticercus. Teresa Robielo, Angelica Rivas and Ana Flisser describe the appearance and possible taxonomic position of these forms, and discuss their relation to the various pathologies of neurocysticercosis.

Taenia solium Cysticercosis — The lessons of history
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2015Human taeniasis as well as porcine and human cysticercosis--caused by the pork tapeworm Taenia solium--are ancient diseases. The fact that pigs were considered impure in the ancient Greece and that the Koran prohibited the consumption of pork, were likely related to the knowledge that cysticercosis may affect swine.

Taenia saginata and Taenia solium: reciprocal models.
Acta Leidensia, 1991Taenia solium and Taenia saginata are of such close taxonomic relationship that each can be regarded as a model for the other. In these particular species the only available hosts are either humans or large domesticated animals. This has imposed severe safety and/or economic restrictions on the extent of the experimental work which could be attempted ...

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 ...
