| a programme to control taeniasis-cysticercosis (t. solium): experiences in a mexican village. | a study was carried out in a rural community of the state of guerrero in order to find ways to control human taeniasis/cysticercosis (taenia solium). at the beginning of the study the frequency of porcine cysticercosis was established to be around 6.6%. fecal examination in the human population showed that of 760 persons, 24 were carriers of taenia sp (3%). of 440 human sera tested for antibodies against cysticercus cellulosae, 9 showed absorbance values of 0.2 or higher (2.3%). 900 persons rece ... | 1989 | 2488996 |
| field trial for reducing porcine taenia solium cysticercosis in mexico by systematic vaccination of pigs. | it has previously been demonstrated that immunization of pigs with a crude extract of taenia solium metacestodes can confer a high level of protection against an egg challenge. furthermore, vaccination of infected animals also induces an immune response against the larvae, which are either destroyed or rendered non-infectious. to assess the efficacy of immunization as a strategy for reducing the prevalence of porcine cysticercosis, a field trial of this vaccine was performed in an endemic area i ... | 1997 | 9187030 |

| failure to incriminate domestic flies (diptera: muscidae) as mechanical vectors of taenia eggs (cyclophyllidea: taeniidae) in rural mexico. | flies caught in homes in a rural village in guerrero, mexico, between november 1994 and august 1995 were assessed for their role in the transmission of taenia solium l. most (99%) of the trapped flies were musca domestica l. none of the 1,187 guts or 1,080 legs of the flies contained t. solium eggs. pigs roam freely in this village consuming human fecal material immediately after defecation, thereby limiting fly contact with t. solium eggs. | 2000 | 10916288 |
| immunization against porcine cysticercosis in an endemic area in mexico: a field and laboratory study. | an antigenic extract from taenia solium metacestodes was evaluated for immunogenicity in pig populations from a large area of endemic porcine cysticercosis in the state of guerrero, mexico. a total of 3,295 pigs from 18 villages were immunized with a single dose of 250 micrograms of protein administered intramuscularly. systematic immunization was also performed on pigs (1,076 immunizations) from two of the villages with the highest percentages of cysticercosis. a year after immunization, porcin ... | 1993 | 8214281 |
