“…According to the previous studies reported in the literature regarding the morphology of T. asiatica , the number of uterine branches of proglottids varied between 11-31 ( 4 ) and other reported it was between 16-21 ( 5 ). Our finding in this study showed that the number of uterine proglottids of T. asiatica from Simalungun was constant, which was 16 branches.…”

“…They reported that the number of uterine branches of gravid proglottids was between 16-21, and scolex has a rostellum ( 5 ). Parija and Pnombath in 2013 reported that the number of uterine branches with different variation, which was between 11-31 and scolex has a rostellum and apical pit ( 4 ). Our finding, upon light microscope examination with 100x and 400x magnification, there was no rostellum or apical pit found.…”

“…Molecular methods are used to identify several parasites including Taenia. This method has been developed to detect and differentiate the species of Taenia accurately using its DNA with a good quantity and quality ( 4 ). Dissecting microscope is used for counting the number of uterine branches in a gravid proglottid, and delivers a better result.…”

Background: One of the methods to identify Taenia species that infect humans morphologically is microscopic examination of the gravid proglottid and the scolex. By counting the number of uterine branches in a gravid proglottid, the species of Taenia can be identified. According to literatures, the number of uterine branches of proglottid varies between 11 – 31 and the scolex has a rostelum and apical pit without hooklet. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the morphology of scolex, to see the presence of rostelum, hooklet, oral sucker, and apical pit using SEM. Methods: We investigated 19 gravid proglottids of T. asiatica from Simalungun District, North Sumatra Province using dissecting microscope examination and one scolex using light microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results: The findings showed that the number of uterine branches of the gravid proglottid was 16, and neither rostelum nor apical pit in the scolex was found. However, a curved shape at the apex of the scolex was identified and named as snout Conclusion: The number of uterine branches of T. asiatica that was found in Simalungun District, North Sumatra Province was 16 and the morphology of the scolex was slightly different from that was reported previously. We suggest that the morphology of Taenia asiatica should be further reviewed, probably of the differences in morphology of Taenia asiatica according to its endemic area.

“…Diagnosa laboratorium untuk identifikasi taeniasis pada umumnya dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode morfologi, yaitu dengan cara menemukan telur dan proglatid pada sampel feses penderita. Pada metode morfologi, dapat digunakan pewarna untuk mengamati morfologi telur atau proglatid, yaitu pewarna Ziehl-Neelsen dan Hematoxylin-Eosin (Parija & Ponnambath, 2013). Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Wandra, dkk (2011), menyebutkan bahwa masih terdapat potensi endemik taeniasis di Bali.…”

Taenia soliumÂ is a zoonosis found all over the world, especially in developing countries.Â T soliumÂ can cause taeniasis and cysticercosis in humans. Pigs as intermediate hosts can be infected withÂ T soliumÂ which causes porcine cysticercosis.Â T soliumÂ can infect muscle, skin, eye, and brain tissue which can develop into neurocysticercosis. Neurocysticercosis is the cause of 30% of cases of epilepsy in the world. In Denpasar city, pigs are one type of livestock. A large number of pig farms and the Balineseâ€™s people's habit of consuming pork is one of the sources ofÂ T soliumÂ infection. This research was conducted to determineÂ T soliumÂ eggs in pig feces. The study was conducted microscopically on 31 samples with simple random sampling technique. The results showed that of the 31 samples examined, 54.8% (17 samples) were positive forÂ T soliumÂ eggs. This indicates that the pig farms in Denpasar city have been infected withÂ T solium. Pig farming in Denpasar city was done traditionally and kept indoors. However, the breeders pay less attention to pig health and environmental sanitation. Also, pigs are slaughtered privately by breeders because there are no slaughterhouses. Lack of supervision of pork circulating in the community is also the cause ofÂ T soliumÂ infection. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out supervision by the local government on pig farms as well as supervision of pork consumed by the public to prevent and eradicateÂ T soliumÂ infection.

“…On the other hand, the eggs hatched in the human intestine can finally produce the cysts in areas with high blood flow such as CNS (neurocysticercosis), the muscles (human cysticercosis), the subcutaneous tissue and the eye (subcutaneous and ocular cysticercosis, respectively) [5,8]. Taenia asiatica, also known as Asian Taenia, similar to T. saginata is responsible for intestinal teniasis and has been identified in several Asian countries [3,9]. Cysticercus fasciolaris is the larval stage of the cestode T. taeniaeformis in wide variety of small rodents, and occasionally birds and humans, as intermediate hosts with cats as the definitive hosts [10].…”
