Morphological Characteristics of Alveolar and Cystic Echinococcosis Lesions in Human Liver and Bone by Thomas F. E. Barth, Adriano Casulli

“…Because of the rareness of these zoonotic diseases, pathologists have limited diagnostic experience in the analysis of the lesions caused by <i>Echinococcus</i> tapeworms. Here, we describe the main microscopic features to be considered to characterize these lesions: laminated layer, central necrosis, growth pattern, and delineation from adjacent tissue. …”

A cross-sectional study of Taenia solium in a multiple taeniid-endemic region reveals competition may be protective. by Conlan, J, Vongxay, K, Khamlome, B, Dorny, P, Sripa, B, Elliot, A, Blacksell, S, Fenwick, S, Thompson, R

“…Eating uncooked beef, being male, province of residence, age, and ethnicity were significant risk factors for taeniasis and only province of residence was a significant risk factor for cystiercosis. Thirty-five human tapeworms were recovered during the survey and 33 (94.3%) and 2 (5.7%) were identified as Taenia saginata and T. solium, respectively. …”
