Epidemiology of Taenia saginata taeniosis/cysticercosis: a systematic review of the distribution in southern and eastern Africa Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Gent

Veronique Dermauw, Pierre Dorny, Uffe Christian Braae, Brecht Devleesschauwer, Lucy J Robertson, Anastasios Saratsis, Lian F Thomas

BACKGROUND: The beef tapeworm, Taenia saginata, causing cysticercosis in bovines and taeniosis in humans, is thought to have a global distribution. In eastern and southern Africa, cattle production plays a crucial role in the economy, but a clear overview of the prevalence of T. saginata in the region is still lacking. This review aims to summarize existing knowledge on T. saginata taeniosis and bovine cysticercosis distribution in eastern ...

Epidemiology of Taenia saginata taeniosis/cysticercosis: a systematic review of the distribution in the Middle East and North Africa Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Gent

Anastasios Saratsis, Smaragda Sotiraki, Uffe Christian Braae, Brecht Devleesschauwer, Veronique Dermauw, Ramon Marc Eichenberger, Lian F Thomas, Branko Bobić, Pierre Dorny, Sarah Gabriël, et al.

Background: The zoonotic parasite Taenia saginata utilizes bovines as an intermediate host (causing cysticercosis) and humans as the definitive host (causing taeniosis). The public health burden of T. saginata is assumed to be low, but the economic burden is large, due to the resources utilized in the detection and condemnation of infected carcasses and carcass parts. As part of a collaborative effort to synthesize worldwide epidemiological ...

Epidemiology and economic impact of bovine cysticercosis and taeniosis caused by Taenia saginata in northeastern Spain (Catalonia) Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Gent

Minerva Laranjo-González, Brecht Devleesschauwer, Famke Jansen, Pierre Dorny, Celine Dupuy, Ana Requena-Méndez, Alberto Allepuz

Background: In Catalonia (north-eastern Spain), Taenia saginata has been described in cattle but its occurrence in humans is unclear. Moreover, whether cattle acquired the infection in Catalonia or outside Catalonia and its economic impact have not been investigated. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and spatial distribution of bovine cysticercosis in Catalonia (2008-2015), and the burden from T. saginata upon the animal and human ...

Survival of Taenia saginata eggs under different environmental conditions Universiteit Gent

Iulia Bucur, Sarah Gabriël, Inge Van Damme, Pierre Dorny, Maria Vang Johansen
This study aimed to assess in vitro the transmission potential of T. saginata eggs stored in different media at various temperatures, and to optimize recovery, hatching and activation methods. A total of 42 freshwater and 42 silt samples were spiked with 100 mu l of a T. saginata egg suspension, of which half were stored at 5 degrees C and the other half at 20 degrees C. Additionally, 5 silt and 35 tap water control samples were included. Eggs ...

Investigation of an outbreak of Taenia saginata cysts (Cysticercus bovis) in dairy cattle from two farms Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

AMJ McFadden, DD Heath, CM Morley, Pierre Dorny
The paper describes the epidemiological investigation carried out on two dairy farms with cattle infected with Taenia saginata cysts. On the first affected farm it was estimated using Bayesian techniques that approximately 65% of 1400 mixed-age cattle were infected with Taenia saginata cysts. The investigation aimed to determine potential exposure pathways of cattle to Taenia saginata with a view to finding the human source of infection and to ...

Economic impact of bovine cysticercosis and taeniosis caused by Taenia saginata in Belgium Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Gent

Famke Jansen, Chiara Trevisan, Veronique Dermauw, Minerva Laranjo-González, Alberto Allepuz, Celine Dupuy, Sarah Gabriël, Brecht Devleesschauwer

BACKGROUND: Bovine cysticercosis (BCC) (due to Taenia saginata) is often claimed to cause considerable economic losses to the livestock industry, particularly in beef cattle, but recent studies estimating the economic impact are lacking. The current study aimed to quantify the annual economic impact of BCC in Belgium from 2012 to 2016, by gathering data from diverse sources in the meat and human health sectors.

RESULTS: In Belgium, on ...

Identification of risk areas and practices for Taenia saginata taeniosis/cysticercosis in Ethiopia : a systematic review and meta-analysis Universiteit Gent

Edilu Jorga, Inge Van Damme, Bizunesh Mideksa, Sarah Gabriël
BackgroundBovine cysticercosis (BCC) is an infection of cattle with the metacestode stage of Taenia saginata, the beef tapeworm, which causes taeniosis in humans. BCC is responsible for considerable economic losses in the meat sector worldwide. This systematic review and meta-analysis summarizes the prevalence, risk factors and treatment efforts made so far on T. saginata infections in Ethiopia, providing a detailed analysis of different factors ...
