Epidemiologia da teníase/cisticercose por Taenia solium e Taenia saginata

The golden hamster as a definitive host of Taenia solium and Taenia saginata.

Immunosuppressants have been extensively used to increase the susceptibility of various laboratory animals to several species of nematodes (Campbell , 1963; 1968; Campbell & Collette, 1962 ; Di Netta , Katz & Campbell , 1972 ; Miller, 1966; Mougeot & Lancastre, 1970 ; Parker, 1961; Ritterson, 1959 ; Wiest, 1972; Wakelin, 1970). Only a few of these compounds have been used to increase susceptibi...

Vaccination trials against Taenia solium eggs in pigs injected with frozen oncospheres of T. solium or Taenia saginata asiatica.

In this study, 12 Small-Ear-Miniature pigs aged 142 to 185 days were used to determine whether pigs injected with nonviable oncospheres of Taenia solium or Taenia saginata asiatica can become resistant to the challenge of viable eggs of T. solium. The 12 pigs were equally divided into 4 groups: 3 experimental groups in which each pig was injected subcutaneously with a mixture of 0.2 mL complete...

Etymologia: Taenia saginata

Oral expulsion of Taenia saginata.

We report a 25-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and fever, and had an epigastric lump on examination. At laparotomy she was diagnosed to have acute segmental jejunitis. Three days postoperative, she vomited a 2-meter-long tapeworm (Taenia saginata), a rare route of expulsion.

Taenia solium cysticercosis.

Cysticercosis, the infection of the larval tissue stage of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, is endemic to most developing countries and increasingly is seen in industrialized countries because of immigration. Human infection is a major cause of acquired epilepsy, and porcine infection causes important economic losses to farm workers. Clinical manifestations vary because of the variable number,...
