    Sammanfattning : Taenia solium cysticercosis is a neglected zoonotic disease that constitutes a serious public health problem in many low-income countries of Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Although diagnostic antigens are available, it is still necessary to identify new targets to improve the current diagnostic methods. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Helminthic infections are highly endemic in Mozambique, due to limited access to healthcare and resources for disease prevention. Data on the subclinical prevalence of these diseases are scarce due to the fact that an immunological and imaging diagnosis is not often available in endemic areas. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Immunoreactive proteins in Taenia solium/cysticercus cellulosae

    Författare :Noémia Jeremias Nhancupe; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cysticercosis caused by Taenia solium is a common zoonotic parasitic disease in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and parts of Oceania, and it is responsible for many cases of epileptic seizures. Imaging techniques used to diagnose neurocysticercosis (NCC) are expensive and therefore rarely available in endemic countries. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Taeniasis and cysticercosis in Honduras : epidemiological, serological, and clinical aspects

    Författare :Ana Lourdes Sanchez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Sammanfattning : Taenia solium taeniasis and cysticercosis are recognised as important and increasing public health problems in Latin America. These infections not only have a significant socio-economical impact due to chronic morbidity, decreased productivity of affected persons, high cost of medical diagnosis and treatment, but also cause economical losses due to the condemnation of infected pork meat.

    Sammanfattning : Porcine cysticercosis (PC) is a neglected zoonotic disease usually acquired by pigs after ingestion of Taenia solium eggs from food or an environment contaminated with human faeces of a pork tapeworm carrier. The disease has serious veterinary and public health implications in low-income endemic countries. LÄS MER
