Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic characterization and phylogenetic position of Echinococcus felidis (Cestoda: Taeniidae) from the African lion.
Marion Hüttner,Marion Hüttner,Minoru Nakao,Torsten Wassermann,Ludwig Siefert,J. Boomker,Anke Dinkel,Yasuhito Sako,Ute Mackenstedt,Thomas Romig,Akira Ito +10 more
TL;DR: Taeniid eggs from lion feces in Uganda and amplified DNA from individual eggs indicated the presence of a distinct species of E. granulosus felidis, which had been identified morphologically approximately 40 years ago in South Africa.
WHO/FAO/OIE guidelines for the surveillance, prevention and control of taeniosis/cysticercosis
K. D. Murrell,Pierre Dorny,A. Flisser,Stanny Geerts,N. C. Kyvsgaard,D. P. McManus,T. E. Nash,Z. S. Pawłowski +7 more
TL;DR: Wei et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that hyperoxia greatly reduces the incidence of phenytoin-induced cleft lip and palate in A/J mice, and showed that vitamin B6 reduces the severity of the cleft palate.
Book ChapterDOI
Taeniasis and cysticercosis (Taenia saginata).
TL;DR: This chapter summarizes all significant matters concerning Taenia saginata taeniasis and cysticercosis—that is, nomenclature, host relationships, structure and biology, clinical and therapeutic features, epidemiology and epizootiology, and prevention of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional status, epidemiology and impact of taenia solium cysticercosis in western and central africa.
André Pagnah Zoli,Oliver Shey-Njila,Emmanuel Assana,Jean-Pierre Nguekam,Pierre Dorny,Jef Brandt,Stanny Geerts +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the true prevalence of T. solium cysticercosis in pigs and humans in Central and West Africa remains underestimated because of unreliable slaughterhouse data and the lack of awareness and diagnostic facilities in the public health sector.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of urban sewage sludge on pastures: the cysticercosis threat.
TL;DR: Cysticercosis due to Taenia saginata appears to be one of the major pathological threats when sewage sludge is used to fertilise cattle pastures in temperate areas and future investigations should concentrate on the most sustainable means of reducing risk.

Book
The Zoology of Tapeworms
TL;DR: This book is a notable contribution to the still unwritten history of American public health and will very probably be the standard work on the subject for many years to come.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the helminth fauna of Alaska. XXV. The ecology and public health significance of Echinococcus sibiricensis Rausch & Schiller, 1954, on St. Lawrence Island.
TL;DR: The circumstances strongly suggest that the bears on Kodiak Island are infected through ingesting plerocercoid larvae in salmon, and Aboriginal methods of preparing fishes for human consumption are such that cestode larvae might remain viable for some time.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the transmission, biology and morphology of echinococcus granulosus equinus, a new subspecies of hydatid tapeworm in horses in great britain.
TL;DR: Observations, together with those of others on secondary hydatid cyst formation, indicate that the two types are not only biologically but morphologically distinct.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural and experimental hosts of echinococcus granulosus and e. multilocularis, with comments on the genetics of speciation in the genus echinococcus.
J. D. Smyth,Mildred M. Smyth +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of intermediate and definitive hosts has been undertaken in this laboratory as part of a study to investigate whether factors of morphological, physiological or biochemical origin were concerned in host specificity as discussed by the authors.
