Control of Zoonotic Parasitic Cestode (Taenia solium): Sustainability Assessment of Potential Vaccines
Author(s): Wilson Charles Wilson*
Tanenia solium is a zoonotic parasitic cestode that causes taeniasis and cysticercosis in pigs and humans respectively. Taeniasis/cysticercosis is a serious endemic disease in most developing countries and affects both human health and the economy. Different physical and immunodiagnostic techniques developed have been used to reveal the parasite in the host. On the other hand, anthelminthic drugs have been used for many years in controlling the parasite but with less impact. However, vaccines developed from antigen oncospheres named TSOL18, TSOL45-1A and TSOL16 have shown positive results in controlling the parasite under experimental conditions. The recently developed vaccine of TSOL18 antigen has shown nearly complete protection against T. solium in pigs. Similarly, the vaccine developed from synthetic peptides (S3Pvac) has shown promising resu.. View more»
