taenia saginata

T. solium has a very similar life cycle to Taenia saginata.

Adults of 'Taenia saginata', which infests humans, can form proglottid chains over long, although is more typical.

Taenia saginata - beef tapeworm.

Kosso or ኮሶ in Amharic is also the name of the human tapeworm, Taenia saginata.

Since it is difficult to diagnose using eggs alone, looking at the scolex or the gravid proglottids can help identify it as Taenia saginata.

The Beef Tapeworm (Taenia Saginata ).

In the class Cestoda (tapeworms), suckers can be found on the scolex as exemplified in the species Taenia saginata.

Taenia saginata eggs stain well but Taenia solium eggs don't (Can be used to distinguish)

It is related to Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm, and to Taenia saginata, the beef tapeworm.

They concluded that nitazoxanide is a safe, effective, inexpensive, and well-tolerated drug for the treatment of niclosamide- and praziquantel-resistant beef tapeworm (Taenia saginata) infection.

Taenia saginata, also known as Taeniarhynchus saginata or the beef tapeworm, is a parasite of both cattle and humans, causing taeniasis in humans.

The two most important human pathogens in the genus are Taenia solium (the pork tapeworm) and Taenia saginata (the beef tapeworm).

This led to the development of highly effective, recombinant vaccines against cysticercosis in cattle due to Taenia saginata and in pigs due to Taenia solium.

Discovered only in 1980s from Taiwan and other East Asian countries, it is notoriously similar to Taenia saginata that it was believed to be a slightly different strain.

It includes many tapeworms of medical and veterinary importance, as Taenia solium (pork tapeworm) and Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm).

They are usually identified by the animals they come from - for example Taenia saginata from beef, Taenia solium from pork, and Diphyllobothrium latum from fish.

The adult Taenia saginata lives in the gut of a primate such as a human, but more alarming are Taenia solium, which can form cysts in the human brain.

He was the first to prove that Taenia saginata occurs only in cattle (and humans), and Taenia solium occurs only in swine (and humans).

Counting the uterine branches enables some identification (Taenia saginata uteri have 12 or more branches on each side, while other species such as Taenia solium only have five to 10).

Health concerns have reduced the popularity of this meat dish in some parts of the world because of the danger of contamination by bacteria and parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii and Taenia saginata.

T. asiatica was first recognized in Taiwan, and subsequently in Korea and other Asian countries; therefore it was originally known as Asian Taenia saginata, as it appeared to be exclusive to Asia.

Not all members of the genus Taenia have an armed scolex (hooks and/or spines located in the "head" region), for example, Taenia saginata has an unarmed scolex, while Taenia solium has an armed scolex.

Eggs can be diagnosed only to the family level, but if a proglottid's uterus is stained with India ink, the number of visible uterine branches can help identify the species; unlike the Taenia saginata uteri, T. solium uteri have only five to 10 uterine branches on each side.
