El ciclo de transmisión
Teniasis. Las tenias viven en los intestinos de las personas infectadas. Los huevos de la tenia se liberan con las heces. Si se defeca al aire libre, se puede contaminar el ambiente (incluyendo los vegetales y el agua). Cisticercosis humana. La inges...tión de huevos de la tenia (debido a una mala higiene después de ir al baño o al consumir alimentos o agua contaminados), resulta en quistes del parásito principalmente en el cerebro (causando convulsiones y epilepsia). Cisticercosis porcina. Los cerdos que ingieren huevos de tenia (presentes en las heces o en el medio ambiente) desarrollan quistes del parásito, principalmente en los músculos (carne). La carne infectada contiene quistes del parásito, que no siempre son fáciles de ver. Comer carne de cerdo infectada cruda o poco cocinada hará que las personas desarrollen tenias.
Las medidas de prevención y control
Tratar la infección por teniasis con medicamentos indicados por el personal de salud. Lavarse las manos con agua y jabón después de ir al baño. Lavar bien las verduras o cocinarlas antes de comerlas. Utilizar los baños o letrinas para evitar infectar el ambiente, los cerdos y otras personas. Mantener a los cerdos en corrales para evitar que se infecten. Vacunar y tratar a los cerdos para prevenir la infección. La inspección de la carne puede identificar a los cerdos altamente infectados. Cocinar bien la carne de cerdo (no debe verse el color rosa) para matar el parásito.
