“…Usually, taeniases due to the ingestion of uncooked meat are in general rare in Indonesia, since Muslims usually do not eat uncooked meat. Nonetheless, three Taenia species affecting humans have been reported in Indonesia: T. solium mainly in Papua and Bali, T. saginata in Bali, and T. asiatica (a hybrid-derived descendant of T. asiatica and T. saginata ) in Samosir Island and Simalungun District, North Sumatra [49,50]. T. saginata is rather common in Bali where local people consume uncooked beef dish (beef lawar) as a traditional local food [49].…”

Indonesia and South Korea have become inseparable in various respects since the 2 countries established diplomatic relation in 1973. Indonesia is a tropical region that stretches across the equator, comprised of 5 main islands (Java, Kalimantan, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Papua) and 4 archipelagoes (Riau, Bangka Belitung, Nusa Tenggara, and Maluku). As most population of Eastern Indonesia (Sulawesi, Papua and Nusa Tenggara & Maluku) live in poor areas, it is expected that there will be many parasites. Nevertheless, little is known about the status of parasites in Indonesia. This study examines the prevalences of malaria and lymphatic filaria, which are prevalent in Indonesia, as well as those of soiltransmitted-helminths (STH). As a result, the Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax case loads are almost equal. The current prevalence of P. vivax is uniformly low (< 5%) in all age groups and annual parasite incidence (API) showed decreasing tendency as 0.84 per 1,000 population in 2016. However, more than 65 million people still live in malaria epidemic regions. Lymphatic filariasis remains an important public health problem and 236 cities were classified as endemic areas in 514 cities/districts in 2017. It is difficult to ascertain the current prevalence rate of STH in Indonesia, although West Sumba and Southwest Sumba in East Nusa Tenggara reported prevalence rate of more than 20%. The study also considers the (sero) prevalences of other parasites identified in Indonesia. This report should be useful not only to parasitologists but also to travelers and people with business in Indonesia.

“…Nuclear gene analysis successful with only two of them re-vealed that they were hybrid-derived descendants of T. ASIATICA and T. SAGINATA completely same as those in Samosir Island. Samosir Island and Simalungun district are adjacent in North Sumatra (Zein et al, 2019). The newly confirmed endemic areas are in the large palm farms, and the living environment appears to be very poor.…”

The intermediate host preference and tissue tropism for the cysticerci of these hybridderived descendants has not yet been confirmed; the local people's life style which includes eating uncooked pig viscera, but no beef, suggest that pigs are likely to be the inter-mediate host (Zein et al, 2019).…”

“…2 solium, have all been demonstrated to be circulating in the region [24]. For example, on the Indonesian Archipelago, which is highly influenced by an ethnic diversity and religious pluralism within a Muslim-majority population, all three of these human Taenia species are prevalent [25,26]. Studies from Cambodia and Vietnam with considerable sample size numbers and high regional coverage, also reported the co-existence of the three different Taenia spp.…”

Epidemiology of Taenia saginata taeniosis/cysticercosis: a systematic review of the distribution in East, Southeast and South Asia

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Taenia saginata is an important zoonotic parasite, causing taeniosis in humans and cysticercosis in bovines, the latter being a significant concern for the global beef industry. Many countries in East, Southeast and South Asia are experiencing rapid economic growth, and an increasing number of people in these countries are dependent on the livestock industry. Currently, however, an overview of the prevalence of T. saginata in this region is lacking. In this review, we analysed the available literature on T. saginata taeniosis and bovine cysticercosis for East, Southeast and South Asia. Methods: A systematic review was conducted, based on both published and grey literature. Articles published between 1990 and 2017 were mined for information on the occurrence, prevalence, and geographical distribution of T. saginata taeniosis and bovine cysticercosis in East, Southeast and South Asia. Results: The presence of T. saginata was described in 15 of 27 countries of the region, including Afghanistan,
