Immunopathology of Taeniasis and Cysticercosis

2013
The adaptive processes required for the parasite to survive inside the vertebrate host avoiding the attack of the immune system either as a tissue cyst or as an intestinal tapeworm, as well as the changes occurring after detection of the cysts by the immune system and the subsequent inflammatory reaction and parasite degeneration, result in a varied ...

Strategies for the elimination of taeniasis/cysticercosis

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2007
Advances in the field of neurocysticercosis continue to shape our understanding of the disease and our efforts to control it. Several attempts have been made to eradicate the disease with active interventions such as changing domestic pig-raising practices, mass chemotherapy of porcine cysticercosis and taeniasis, selective detection and treatment of ...

On the diagnosis of human taeniasis by endoscopy

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2010
To the Editor: In an illustrative Focal Point article, Akarsu and Akpinar1 diagnose an intestinal human Taenia saginata case apparently only by means of endoscopy. Lawrence J.

Control of taeniasis and cysticercosis in China

2020
National surveys suggest that the prevalence of taeniasis has considerably decreased in China, while reported cases indicated T. solium cysticercosis was historically highly endemic in northeastern, central and southwestern China. The high prevalence of taeniasis and cysticercosis there was driven by socio-ecological determinants.

History of Taeniasis and Cysticercosis

2013
The history of parasitic diseases—including taeniasis—is as old as that of humanity (Cox 2004), but it has been only in the past few centuries that enough knowledge has been accumulated to proper characterize the disease complex taeniasis/cysticercosis as a major infection of human beings (Fig. 1.1).

Taeniasis — The Tantalising Target

1987
A few years ago it seemed possible, even probable, that recent developments in several fields would mean that effective, logistically feasible control of taeniasis-cysticercosis would be achieved within a relatively short time span. This expectation was largely based on work on Echinococcus or Taenia saginata but there seemed little reason to doubt ...

Taeniasis und Zystizerkose

2015
Die intestinale Taeniasis wird durch Taenia solium, Taenia saginata und Taenia asiatica hervorgerufen. Es handelt sich um eine intestinale Parasitose, die haufig asymptomatisch verlauft. Der Mensch dient hier als Hauptwirt des Parasiten. Viel seltener ist die Zystizerkose. Hier dient der Mensch Taenia solium als Zwischenwirt.
