囊尾蚴病流行现况及研究进展

Current status and research progress of cysticercosis

囊尾蚴病是由于猪带绦虫幼虫囊尾蚴寄生于人、畜体内而引起的一种人畜共患寄生虫病,被世界卫生组织列为被忽视的热带病之一。囊尾蚴病呈世界性分布,主要流行于中、低收入经济水平的发展中国家。由于我国西南、民族地区医疗卫生水平不高、民族饮食习俗难以改变,囊尾蚴病病例仍然较多,表现为局部高流行。该病通常以CT和MRI影像学技术诊断为主,血清学检测为辅。现阶段我国囊尾蚴病防控仍较为薄弱。本文就囊尾蚴病的流行现状和研究进展进行综述,并对囊尾蚴病的防控提出进一步建议。

Cysticercosis refers to a parasitic infection caused by the larvae of pork tapeworm Taenia solium. It is a parasitic zoonosis and listed by the World Health Organization （WHO） as one of the neglected tropical diseases. Cysticercosis is spreading all over the world through globalization and it mainly epidemic in developing countries. In the southwest and minority nationality areas of China, as a result of the low level of medical and health care, and the unchangeable diet custom, there are still many cases of cysticercosis, which is manifested as a local high prevalence. Neuroimaging is the preferred method for cysticercosis diagnosis, and by using CT and MRI scans it is possible to visualise the infecting cysticerci and assess their number and location within the central nervous system （CNS）. The immunological assay is also required in the diagnosis. At present, the prevention and control of cysticercosis is still relatively weak. In this paper, the current status and research progress of cysticercosis are reviewed, and further suggestions on the prevention and control of cysticercosis are put forward.
