Abstract

Neurocysticercosis is an important cause of epilepsy in many developing countries. The disease is a zoonosis caused by the cestode parasite Taenia solium . Many potential intervention strategies are available, however none has been able to be implemented and sustained. Here we predict the impact of some T. solium interventions that could be applied to prevent transmission through pigs, the parasite’s natural animal intermediate host. These include minimal intervention strategies that are predicted to be effective and likely to be feasible. Logical models are presented which reflect changes in the risk that age cohorts of animals have for their potential to transmit T. solium . Interventions that include a combined application of vaccination, plus chemotherapy in young animals, are the most effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

11. Can We Recommend Practical Interventions to Prevent Neurocysticercosis?

Author

Braae, Uffe Christian, Lightowlers, Marshall W., and Donadeu, Meritxell

Subjects
*TAENIA solium, *NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS, *POPULATION, *CYSTICERCOSIS, *THERAPEUTICS
Abstract

The cystiSim model was used to compare strategies for the control of Taenia solium. A three-monthly intervention in pigs for 3 years was substantially more effective than biannual treatment for taeniasis in the human population for 5 years. The intervention period could be shortened further by combining pig and human interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

12. Community- and farmer-based management of animal African trypanosomosis in cattle.

Author

Bouyer, Jérémy, Bouyer, Fanny, Donadeu, Meritxell, Rowan, Tim, and Napier, Grant

Subjects
*TRYPANOSOMIASIS, *TSETSE-flies, *FARMERS, *COMMUNITIES, *EPIDEMIOLOGY, *FLY rearing, *INTEGRATED control of agricultural pests, *CATTLE
Abstract

Tsetse eradication is impossible in many parts of Africa given environmental, political, and economic circumstances. Animal African trypanosomosis (AAT) control then relies on implementation of local, integrated control strategies by communities or farmers that must take into account the eco-epidemiological context and the cattle rearing system to be sustainable.
