Taenia martis Neurocysticercosis-Like Lesion in Child, Associated with Local Source, the Netherlands.

A neurocysticercosis-like lesion in an 11-year-old boy in the Netherlands was determined to be caused by the zoonotic Taenia martis tapeworm. Subsequent testing revealed that 15% of wild martens tested in that region were infected with T. martis tapeworms with 100% genetic similarity; thus, the infection source was most likely local.

Technical Evaluation of qPCR Multiplex Assays for the Detection of -Borne Pathogens.

Background: The extent to which infections with -borne pathogens (TBPs), other than s. l. and tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), cause disease in humans remains unclear.

Risk Factors for Sporadic Cryptosporidiosis in the Netherlands: Analysis of a 3-Year Population Based Case-Control Study Coupled With Genotyping, 2013-2016.

Background: In 2012, cryptosporidiosis cases increased in the Netherlands, but no single source was identified. In April 2013, we began a 3-year population-based case-control study coupled with genotyping to identify risk factors for sporadic cryptosporidiosis.

Methods: Cryptosporidium cases were laboratory confirmed (by microscopy or polymerase chain reaction), and the species (ie, C.

Long-term sequelae of sporadic cryptosporidiosis: a follow-up study.

To determine the frequency of occurrence of sequelae following cryptosporidiosis. A follow-up study was performed during a case-control study for sporadic cryptosporidiosis in the Netherlands (2013-2016). Cryptosporidiosis cases were invited to complete a follow-up questionnaire 4 months after diagnosis.
