Diagnosis Of Taenia Solium Metacestode Infection In Pigs: A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Veterinary Health Science & Research (IJVHSR) - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Cysticercosis caused by Taenia solium metacestode, is one of the major public health disease. Infected pigs play an important role in human taeniosis and cysticercosis. Recently much progress has been made towards immunodiagnosis of T. solium metacestode infection in pigs that have improved diagnostic sensitivity and specificity at field level. DNA approaches are now being used for accurate species specific identification of Taenia spp. Recent advances in diagnosis of porcine cysticercosis both antemortem and postmortem diagnostic techniques are reviewed in this article.
