Saginata

Paromomycin. Paromomycin [7542-37-2] is a broad-spectmm antibiotic that has been used in the treatment of fi nana and T. saginata and amebiasis, and also as an antibacterial agent in cases of diarrhea and dysentery (see Antibiotics, oligosaccharides). [Pg.245]

Tapeworm infections (T. saginata and T. solium) are treated with praziquantel 5 to 10 mg/kg as a single dose (use the same dose for adults and pediatric patients).3 The treatment for cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis may include surgery, anticonvulsants (neurocysticercosis can cause seizures), and anthelmintic therapy. The anthelmintic therapy of choice is albendazole 400 mg twice daily for 8 to 30 days. The pediatric dose of albendazole is 15 mg/kg (maximum 800 mg) in two divided doses for 8 to 30 days. The doses for both adults and pediatric subjects can be repeated if necessary. Praziquantel is an alternative therapy.3... [Pg.1144]

Niclosamide is an anthelmintic, which is active against various intestinal tapeworms. It is the drug of choice for tapeworm infections due to Taenia Saginata, Diphyllobothrium Latum, and Taenia Solium. Niclosamide is particularly effective... [Pg.92]

Paromomycin sulfate has been recommended for other parasitic infections — Dientamoeba fragilis (25 to 30 mg/kg/day in 3 doses for 7 days) Diphyllobothrium latum, Taenia saginata, Taenia solium, Dipylidium caninum adults 1 g every 15 minutes P.968... [Pg.1652]

Praziquantel is the agent of choice against all trema-todes apart from Fasciola hepatica where bithionol is the drug of first choice. It is also an anticestodal agent and, as also niclosamide, is a first choice drug for intestinal tapeworm infestations by Taenia solum (pork tapeworm), Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm), Taenia latum (fish tapeworm) and Hymenolepis nana (dwarf tapeworm) and it is a second choice drug af-...

The answer is c. (Hardman, p 1688.) Thiabendazole has been shown to be effective against Strongyloides, cutaneous larva migrans, and Trichuris. Adverse effects consist of nausea, vertigo, headache, and weakness. Treatment usually involves oral administration for several days. It has been found to be ineffective in Ascaris, N. americanus, E. vermicularis, and T. saginata. [Pg.70]

A single 2 g dose of niclosamide results in cure rates of over 85% for D latum and about 95% for T saginata. It is probably equally effective against T solium. Cysticercosis can theoretically occur after treatment of T solium infections, because viable ova are released into the gut lumen after digestion of segments, but no such cases have been reported.

Oncospheres of many cestode species penetrate and develop into metacestodes within cysts (cysticerci, hydatid, multilocular) in the soft tissues of their rodent, ruminant or human hosts. Thus, species such as Echinococcus granulosus, E. multilocularis, Eaenia multiceps, T. ovis, E. saginata and E solium are of economic and medical importance. Such soft tissue invasion elicits a host immune response to resist the helminths. However, although some cysts may be destroyed as evidenced by involution or calcification, the host response is often too little - too late to eliminate the invaders. The susceptibility of the host to invasion is often due to successful evasive strategies... [Pg.199]

Immunization with the monoclonal AB reactive against the 18 kDa major surface protein in the oncosphere of T. saginata, HP6, confers protection in cattle (Harrison and Rarkhouse, 1986). The HP6-encoding gene of T. saginata has been cloned and transfected into normal rat kidney cells. Localization studies revealed HP6 in the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus and at the cell surface (Bonay et al., 2002). The deduced amino acid sequence of HP6 was similar to the mammalian extracellular matrix protein,... [Pg.200]
