Objective of this study was to observe the development, distribution, and infestation density of Taenia saginata metacestodes in Bali cattle. This study was conducted by infecting three Bali cattle with eggs of T. saginata that had been collected from taeniasis patients in Bali. Each of the three cattl
e was inoculated with 100,000 (cattle 1), 500,000 (cattle 2), and 1,000,000 (cattle 3) T. saginata eggs, respectively. To observe the development of the cysticerci, the three cattle were slaughtered 24 weeks after being infected. To observe their distribution and density, slicing was done to the cattle’s tissues. The study result showed that in the cattle infected with 100,000 and 500,000 T. saginata eggs, cysts were found distributed to all muscle tissues and some visceral organs such as heart, diaphragm, lungs, and kidney. Density of the cyst was in the range of 11 to 95 cysts per 100 grams of tissue. The highest density was noted in the heart (58/100 grams) and in diaphragm (55/100 grams). This study has confirmed that T. saginata eggs derived from taeniasis patient in Bali, if infected to Bali cattle can develop and spread to all muscle tissues and some visceral organs. From this study it is concluded that the heart should always be inspected in the slaughtering house for possibility of T. saginata cyst infection.

finally i've got this nice blog of yours.
BalasHapusis this the same report you published in bandung, prof?
one question: how about the liver?
BalasHapusdid you find any cyst in the organ?
