“…However in a number of areas eg. Papua and Timor it is a public health problem, as it has previously been in Bali Margono et al, 2003Margono et al, , 2004Wandra et al, 2003;Ito et al, 2003Ito et al, , 2004. Human cases of epileptic seizures in Balinese communities was reported to range from 1.1%-8.0% in Trunyan (Bangli District), Sukawati (Gianyar District) and Padangsambian (Badung District) in 1977 (Sutisna, 2002).…”

1 SummaryAn epidemiological survey of taeniasis/cysticercosis was carried out in one semi-urban and two urban villages in three districts in Bali, Indonesia in 2002 and. A total of 398 local people from 247 families were diagnosed by anamnesis and clinical examinations, and 60 residents were suspected to be taeniasis carriers. Among 60 suspected carriers, 56 persons expelled a total of 61 taeniid adult worms after praziquantel treatment. From 398 residents, 252 stool samples were available for analysis of taeniid eggs, copro-antigens or copro-DNA for identification of taeniid species, and 311 serum samples were available for detection of antibodies against Taenia solium cysticercosis. Taeniasis prevalences were highly variable among three villages (1.1-27.5%) and only one cysticercosis due to T. solium infection was detected. All expelled tapeworms were confirmed to be Taenia saginata by mitochondrial DNA analysis. There was no Taenia asiatica human case in Bali. Case control analysis of 106 families chosen at random from 179 families in 2004 and another 106 families from non-endemic areas revealed that risk factors of T. saginata taeniasis for families were the level of education (p < 0.01), the consumption of beef lawar (p < 0.01) and the source of lawar (p < 0.01).

“…Serological examination is also reliable and sensitive for NCC patients with multiple cysts but not for those with a solitary cyst (3,8,13,14). As in this case, it is not always possible to observe the characteristic hooklets of T. solium through histopathological examination due to either technical problems or incomplete formation of hooklets (6). Moreover, there might be anticipated cysticercosis caused by taeniid species of zoonotic origins other than T. solium.…”

This paper reviews the literature on zoonotic cestode infections with specific reference to the years 1999-2003. The sources and prevalence of various zoonotic tapeworm infections caused by adult and larval stages of the genera Taenia, Echinococcus, Diphyllobothrium, Hymenolepis and Dipylidium continue to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality, not only in most underdeveloped countries but also in industrialized countries, particularly in rural areas or among immigrant groups from endemic areas. The review gives a detailed report on recent molecular epidemiological studies on the taxonomy and phylogenetic variations in Echinococcus granulosus, immunological tests and imaging techniques used in epidemiological surveys and clinical investigations of important adult and larval tapeworm infections of animals and humans. Larval stages or metacestodes of Taenia solium, Echinococcus spp. and pseudophyllidean tapeworms (Spirometra syn. Diphyllobothrium spp.) may reside in various tissues of their intermediate hosts, including humans. In particular, Cysticercus cellulosae (T. solium) and the larvae of E. granulosus, and E. multilocularis, which are predominantly located in the liver, lungs and central nervous system forming various types of cysts, lead to a complex of systemic diseases such as cysticercosis, cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis, respectively. Relatively rare clinical manifestations are seen in the muscles, subcutaneous tissue, spleen, kidneys, bones and body cavities.
