Hello.
My name is Dr. Wendy Harrison
from the SCI Foundation.
Today I'm going to talk about
neglected tropical diseases
caused by tapeworm infections.
0:12
During this talk, I'll
cover the classification of
tapeworms as it relates to
neglected tropical diseases,
their endemicity, biology
and risk factors,
the impact of these diseases
on communities and economies,
diagnosis and
treatment, and finally,
control and prevention
strategies.
0:34
Neglected tropical
diseases (NTDs)
are a group of diseases
that disproportionately
affect the most
marginalized populations
with the least
access to services,
often in rural areas of low
and middle-income countries.
They're recognized by the
World Health Organization
as a distinct grouping.
Of these diseases,
almost half have an animal host
as part of their lifecycle.
Therefore, are zoonotic
and form a part of
a subset of NTDs
known as neglected
zoonotic diseases.
Two of these conditions
are caused by tapeworms,
Taeniasis / cysticercosis
and echinococcosis.
This is the subject of the talk.
1:17
Tapeworms known as cestodes
are part of the flatworm phylum.
The two tapeworms
that cause NTDs
are in the Cyclophillidea order.
In the first part of this talk,
I'll focus on
taeniasis/cysticercosis,
which is caused
by Taenia solium.
1:36
As you can see from this
WHO endemicity map,
there's a high prevalence
of Taenia solium in
Latin America, sub-Saharan
Africa, and Southeast Asia.
The highest rates of
infection are in areas
where there is poor sanitation
and also a high density
of free-roaming pigs.
