| prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections among inhabitants of tan-nan village, nantou county, taiwan. | the pork infected with cysticerci was sent to our laboratory in june 1971. microscopic examination revealed the infection of cysticercus cellulosae. subsequently, the source of the pork was traced, and the survey of intestinal parasitism was carried out among inhabitants at tan-nan village, hsin-i district, nantou county, taiwan, in august 1973. results obtained only indicated the presence rather than endemic of taeniasis solium in this village. the parasites and infection rates found in the pre ... | 1979 | 397878 |
| treatment of taenia saginata infection with mixture of areca nuts and pumpkin seeds. | in january and february 1974, 32 adults (20 males and 12 females) and a 13-year-old girl with taeniasis saginata were treated with the mixture of boiled areca nuts and pumpkin seeds at mastoban, jen-ai district, nantou county, taiwan. a total of 48 worms including 42 scolices were recovered from 29 cases. side-effects were observed in 4 cases including 3 with complaints of dizziness, tinnitus, nausea and vomiting, and one with coma and abdominal pain. mixtures of 75-150 g areca nuts and 50-100 g ... | 1976 | 1036985 |
| experimental infection with taenia saginata (poland strain) in taiwanese pigs. | two 22-day-old landrace-small ear miniature (l-sem) pigs, five 45 to 66-day-old small ear miniature (sem) pigs, and one 16-day-old holstein calf were each fed 1000, 3000 or 10,000 taenia saginata (poland strain) eggs respectively and killed 34-77 days after inoculation. four of the five sem pigs and the holstein calf were susceptible to this parasite. however, two l-sem pigs and one sem pig remained negative. the cysticerci recovery rates for the sem pig and holstein calf were 36% and 3%, respec ... | 1992 | 1452995 |
| current status of food-borne parasitic zoonoses in taiwan. | more than 50 species of zoonotic parasites (nematodes-18 spp., trematodes-19 spp., cestodes-10 spp., protozoa-2 spp., and arthropods-2 spp.) have been reported in taiwan. among them, angiostrongylus cantonensis, clonorchis sinensis and taenia saginata are the most important and most common food-borne parasites. angiostrongyliasis is highly endemic in southern and eastern taiwan. about 80% of patients are children below 15 years of age, mostly infected after eating achatina fulica during may and ... | 1991 | 1822939 |
| morphological description of taenia saginata asiatica (cyclophyllidea: taeniidae) from man in asia. | in order to clarify the taxonomic status of the taenia saginata-like tapeworm in east asia, the morphological characteristics of the adult and cysticercus of classical t. saginata (american, swiss and poland strains) and the taiwan taenia were compared in the present study. the morphologic characteristics of these two parasites are very similar. the protoscolex of cysticercus of the taiwan taenia has a sunken rostellum while that of classical t. saginata has only an apical pit. in addition, the ... | 1995 | 8583124 |
| annual economic loss caused by taenia saginata asiatica taeniasis in three endemic areas of east asia. | the taenia saginata-like tapeworm in east asia has been designed as a separate subspecies of t. saginata. it was named as t. saginata asiatica and the classical t. saginata as t. saginata saginata. in the course of conducting experimental infections and morphological studies, a large number of adult worms of t. saginata asiatica was collected. it is possible to estimate the annual economic loss caused by this infection, since the worm load and the weight of worm habored by each infected person w ... | 1997 | 9656381 |
| current status of human parasitic infections in taiwan. | the eradication of the 2 mosquito-borne parasitic diseases, malaria and lymphatic filariasis, is one of the greatest achievements of the parasite control campaigns in taiwan. most of the soil-transmitted nematode infections, with the exception of pinworm infection, are currently well controlled and limited to some aboriginal areas. food-borne parasitic zoonosis such as infections with angiostrongylus cantonensis, clonorchis sinensis, and taenia saginata asiatica are not rare, but the former is s ... | 2001 | 11605804 |
| historical overview of taenia asiatica in taiwan. | an overview of the epidemiological, biological, and clinical studies of taenia and taeniasis in taiwan for the past century is presented. the phenomenal observations that led to the discovery of taenia asiatica as a new species, which differ from taenia solium and taenia saginata, are described. parasitological surveys of the aborigines in taiwan revealed a high prevalence of taeniasis, which might be due to the culture of eating raw liver of hunted wild boars. chemotherapeutic deworming trials ... | 2013 | 23467308 |
