Research needs in taeniasis—cysticercosis (Memorandum)*
*This Memorandum was drafted by the signatories listed on page 72, following discussions on research in taeniasis—cysticercosis held in Munich in August 1974. These discussions were sponsored jointly by WHO, FAO, and the Federal Health Office of the Federal Republic of Germany. Requests for reprints should be addressed to: Chief, Veterinary Public Health, World Health Organization, 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland. A French translation of the Memorandum will appear in a future issue of the Bulletin.
Abstract
This Memorandum discusses the epidemiology of taeniasis—cysticercosis, particularly the survival of taeniid eggs in nature, and goes on to consider diagnostic procedures (parasitological and serological), resistance to infection, pathogenesis and clinical pathology, chemotherapy, and the economic and social consequences of infection. Topics requiring further research are listed, and recommendations are made concerning the approach to the problem.
