Biochemical characterization and gene structure analysis of the 24‐kDa glutathione transferase sigma from Taenia solium

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 726-739, May 2024.
Glutathione transferases (GST) are involved in detoxification and immunomodulation, allowing the establishment and development of cestodes in the host. Taenia solium has a 24‐kDa GST sigma class inducible gene that encodes a stable enzyme in a wide range of pHs and temperatures. Its enzymatic activity differs from other GSTs in the parasite, suggesting

Current Status of Taeniasis in Thailand [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2013
Taeniasis is prevalent in all regions of Thailand, except the South. Infections were more frequently found in males than females of any age from 7-83 years. Taenia saginata is the most common species throughout the country. Taenia asiatica was reported only in the province of Kanchanaburi in the Central region.

Detection of Taenia solium Taeniasis Coproantigen Is an Early Indicator of Treatment Failure for Taeniasis [PDF]

Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2012
ABSTRACTTaenia soliumcauses taeniasis and cysticercosis, a zoonotic complex associated with a significant burden of epilepsy in most countries. Reliable diagnosis and efficacious treatment of taeniasis are needed for disease control. Currently, cure can be confirmed only after a period of at least 1 month, by negative stool microscopy.

Taenia solium cysticerci's extracellular vesicles Attenuate the AKT/mTORC1 pathway for Alleviating DSS‐induced colitis in a murine model

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2024.
Schematic description of AKT/mTORC1 pathway supression by Taenia solium derived EV particles on macrophages. Abstract The excretory–secretory proteome plays a pivotal role in both intercellular communication during disease progression and immune escape mechanisms of various pathogens including cestode parasites like Taenia solium.

Seroprevalence and awareness of porcine cysticercosis across different pig production systems in south-central Cambodia [PDF]

, 2017
Taeniasis/cysticercosis, caused by the pork tapeworm Taenia solium, represents an important public health and economic burden in endemic countries. However, there is a paucity of data on infection among pigs in many parts of Southeast Asia, particularly ...

Human taeniasis and cysticercosis in Asia

The Lancet, 2003
Human Taeniasis caused by the pork, Taenia solium, or beef, T saginata, tapeworm arises after eating pork or beef contaminated with metacestodes, the larval stage of these parasites. Taeniasis with T solium can lead to neurocysticercosis and threaten others by accidental ingestion of eggs released from asymptomatic Taeniasis patients.

Epilepsy and neurocysticercosis in rural areas of the Bolivian Chaco: What has changed during the last 30 years?

Epilepsia Open, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 513-521, April 2024.
Abstract Objective Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is considered the major cause of epilepsy in endemic regions. In the rural areas of the Bolivian Chaco prevalence of NCC among people with epilepsy (PWE) was 27.4%, according to a population‐based survey carried out in 1994. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of Epilepsy Associated with Tonic–

Imported taeniasis in the context of colon hydrotherapy

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
Key Clinical MessageWe report a case of imported taeniasis, under the modality of “visiting friends and relatives”, in the context of colon hydrotherapy. This technique allows the detection of proglottids, diagnosed in this case as Taenia saginata based on the gravid proglottid that presented more than 13 uterine branches and showed active motility ...
