Miniature pigs as the intermediate host for Taenia asiatica.
Parasitol Int
February 2025
Section of Molecular Biology, Center for the Evolutionary Origins of Human Behavior, Kyoto University, Inuyama, Aichi 484-8506, Japan.
Taenia asiatica, utilizing pigs as an intermediate host, degenerates and/or calcifies within a few months after infection in pigs, whereas Taenia solium, also using pigs as an intermediate host, can develop into a mature metacestode within a couple of months and can survive for prolong periods in pigs. This raises the question of whether pigs are suitable intermediate hosts for T. asiatica.
