“…Other surveys where Balinese people had been resettled revealed of taeniasis rates of 1.0% (5/476) in Lampung and 0.4% (1/245) in North Sulawesi in 1981 (Simanjuntak et al, 1997;Margono et al, 2004). Cases with taeniasis and/or cysticercosis have also been reported from Jakarta, West Kalimantan, East Kalimantan and East Java (Margono et al, 2001.…”

“…In Indonesia, there are three known endemic provinces for taeniasis/cysticercosis: Bali, Irian Jaya (Papua) and North Sumatra (Handali et al, 1997;Simanjuntak et al, 1997;Wandra et al, 2000Wandra et al, , 2003Margono et al, 2001;Ito et al, 2002Ito et al, , 2003Ito et al, , 2004. Taeniasis, either due to Taenia saginata and/or Taenia solium in East Nusa Tenggara and South-East Sulawesi were reported to be 7.0% (31/445) in 1975 (Simanjuntak et al, 1997) and 0.4%…”

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).

Development of Taenia saginata asiatica metacestodes in SCID mice and its infectivity in human and alternative definitive hosts

Development of Taenia saginata asiatica metacestodes in SCID mice and its infectivity in humans, and in golden hamsters and Mongolian gerbils as alternative definitive hosts, were investigated. Cysticerci were recovered from SCID mice that were subcutaneously injected with hatched eggs of T. s. asiatica. The morphological changes of cysticerci were observed. The recovered cysticerci were by fed to gerbils, hamsters and humans, to check for infectivity.Tapeworms were recovered from gerbils and hamsters that were fed 20 to 45 week-old cysticerci, and proglottids excretion were observed in human volunteers fed with 45 week-old cysticerci.However, no tapeworms were recovered from gerbils fed with 10 week-old cysticerci. Our results suggest that T. s. asiatica oncospheres needed more than 20 weeks to develop to maturity in SCID mice to be infective to both their natural and alternative definitive hosts.

“…T. solium is also an organism severely pathogenic to humans, causing fatal neurocysticercosis when cysticerci, the larval stage of T. solium, develop in the central nervous system. In recent years, this disease has been reported to be of particular importance not only in many developing countries (6,15), but also in areas of nonendemicity, affecting immigrants, tourists (4), and, probably, refugees. Both T. solium and T. saginata have a worldwide distribution, but another human taeniid tapeworm, Taenia asiatica, which is phylogenetically and morphologically related to T. saginata, is distributed in Asian regions (5).…”

For DNA differential diagnosis of human Taenia cestodes, a base excision sequence scanning thymine-base method using the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and cytochrome b genes as targets was used. The characteristic thymine-base peak profiles provide four distinct types, unique for T. saginata, T. asiatica, and two genotypes of T. solium. This approach provides a useful tool for the identification and diagnosis of human taeniid cestodes without DNA sequencing if nucleotide sequence databases are available.
