This study was carried out in the inland waters of Muğla Basin between 2018-2019. As a result field studies and literature, it determined that there were 36 species fish belonging to 17 families (Anguillidae, Atherinidae, Cobitidae, Leuciscidae, Cyprinidae, Gobionidae, Nemacheilidae, Aphaniidae, Poeciliidae, Blenniidae, Centrarchidae, Cichlidae, Gobiidae, Moronidae, Mugilidae, Salmonidae, Silur...

A newly described Asian taeniid which is morphologically indistinguishable from adult Taenia saginata has been identified in the aboriginal population of Taiwan. Hybridization patterns of restriction enzyme digested genomic DNA isolated from "Taiwan" Taenia and Taenia saginata revealed distinct variations between these cestodes. We have demonstrated by Southern blot analysis of ribosomal DNA fr...

mazandaran province, northern iran, has been an area with highest prevalence of infectivity with human taeniasis during past decades. in order to assess current situation of taeniasis in the province by a method which can yield a correct estimation of infection rate, this study was performed by administrating anti-taenia drug, during 2003-2004. a total of 417 people were randomly selected from ...

Intestinal obstruction may be duo to various mechanical or functional reasons. Worms, especially Ascaris worms are one of the mechanical reasons of intestinal obstruction. Obstruction due to Taenia saginata is a rare phenomenon. Here we report a case of intestinal obstruction due to Taenia saginata infection in a 30 year-old male patient undergoing laparatomy with the diagnosis of intestinal ob...

SUMMARY hydatic cyst is a serious disease of man. That cause by a worm called taenia echinocococus, the adult worm lives in small bowel of dog and other canine host. The dog is the usual definitive host of this parasite and is important for transmition of this disease. In this study a total of 283 stray dags Teheran country were investigated for the present of intestinal metazoan parasites. T...

An update on our understanding of molecular variation in Echinococcus and Taenia is provided. Genetic variation within certain species of Echinococcus is now a well accepted phenomenon and a number of intraspecific variants or strains of E. granulosus, in particular, have been characterized hitherto using a range of procedures. Newly acquired molecular information has now been used in epidemiol...

We present an arhaeoparasitological analysis of a unique burial from the Neftprovod II burial ground in East Siberia, which dated from the Bronze Age. Analysis of a sediment sample from the sacral region of the pelvis revealed the presence of Taenia sp. eggs. Because uncooked animal tissue is the primary source of Taenia, this indicated that the individual was likely consuming raw or undercooke...

In certain Asian countries, a third form of human Taenia, also known as the Asian Taenia, has been discovered. This Asian Taenia seems to be an intermediate between Taenia solium and T. saginata since in morphological terms it is similar to T. saginata, yet biologically, as it uses the same intermediate host (pigs), it is more akin to T. solium. Taenia solium causes human cysticercosis, while T...

OBJECTIVE (1) To determine the concentration of Taenia antigens in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with neurocysticercosis (NC); (2) to establish its relationship with clinical activity of the disease and with classical variables of CSF. METHOD A CSF examination was performed in one sample from 36 patients with definitive diagnosis of NC, including: quantitative and cytomorphologica...
