Summary • Twenty‐one intestinal zoonotic parasites out of 28 were detected. • Parasitic burden measured by eggs per gram (EPG) was heavy on the river bank. • Cross‐transmission of intestinal parasites among co‐habiting animals may occur. ABSTRACT Introduction Increasing urbanization has particularly affected rivers and their outer edges in cities ...

Pig as a Favorable Animal for Taenia Saginata Asiatica Infection [PDF]
The epidemiology of Taenia saginata in some parts of Asia is confusing, in that beef does not appear to be the source of infection. In some areas, beef is either not available or not eaten raw, whereas pork at times is eaten uncooked.

Taenia solium, T. saginata and T. asiatica are taeniid tapeworms that cause taeniasis in humans and cysticercosis in intermediate host animals. T. solium can also cause cysticercosis in humans. A number of diagnostic methods have been developed to diagnose Taenia species that infect humans.

Cysticercosis/Taeniasis in Asia and the Pacific
Three taeniid tapeworms infect humans in Asia and the Pacific: Taenia solim, Taenia saginata, and Taenia asiatica. Although there is continuing debate about the definition of a new species, phylogenetic analyses of these parasites have provided multiple lines of evidence that T. asiatica is an independent species and the sister species of T.

Assessment of Human Taeniasis and Other Intestinal Parasites in Narok County, Kenya
Data are sparse on the epidemiological picture of Taenia saginata taeniasis in Kenya. Infections are underreported, and their persistence nonetheless negatively impacts the beef industry. Populations vulnerable to taeniasis in the developing world are commonly burdened with other intestinal parasites, ubiquitous in unsanitary environments.

Food safety in Laos: status, current challenges and opportunities
Consumption of contaminated food is a preventable public health risk in Lao PDR and can be addressed with evidence based policies. Summary This article reviews available evidence on food safety and foodborne illness in Laos, especially as it relates to human nutrition. There is a distinct lack of research in Laos surrounding bacterial, viral, parasitic

MicroRNA extraction and RCA‐assisted CRISPR/Cas9 detection. Abstract Metacestodiasis is an infectious disease caused by the larval stage of cestode parasites. This disease poses a serious health hazard to wildlife, livestock, and humans, and it incurs substantial economic losses by impacting the safety of the livestock industry, the quality of meat ...
