Indtoduction - Taenia Solium
9 important questions on Indtoduction - Taenia Solium
What are symtpoms of infection with Taenia Solium?
2. Cysticersocis, 50-70% asymptomatic. Host reaction to cysts. In muscles of subcutaneous.
3. Neurocysticercosis. Main cause of acquired epilepsy
Which risk factors are present in Zambia?
2. No meat control
3. No food safety
4. Quickly fried meat
Also, 60% live in rural area and the pig population has been incerasing
How can you control Teania Solium?
2. Sanitation
3. Cooking the meat
4. No free roaming
5. Treatment of people and pigs
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What are the 3 steps of community led total sanitation?
2. Triggering step (walk though villagaze, localize& map stool)
3. Post-triggering step (action planning, making latrines)
What were the effects of community led total sanitation?
2. More & better latrines, but no OD free status
3. No evidence of impact on health outcomes
4. People were positive about less flies & not seeing poop, also worried that the poop will stay as the pigs don't eat it
Which interventions are aimed toward the final host?
2. Health education
3. Sanitation
How can health education be implemented?
2. Train health staff & training in villages
3. Use vicous worm computer game for both policy makers and people
How can you target the intermediate host, the pigs?
2. Treatment (only oxfendazole works, but it takes time for cysts to disappear)
3. Vaccination (works but need 2-3 doses)
4. Meat inspection (tongue palpation low sensitivity, no incentive)
4. Preparation of pork
What were conclusions form the cysti-stop study?
2. Reluctance pig owners vaccination
3. Only 20% pigs vaccinated
4. Restock of infected pigs
5. Human movement
So good coverage and high acceptance of interventions. Also significant reduction in pig cysticercosis & taeniasis, and in transmission
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
