In spite of the availability of modern broad-spectrum anthelmintic
drugs, the prevention and control of helminth zoonoses remain a
challenge to human and veterinary parasitologists and to physicians
and veterina- rians working on the field. Although the life cycles
of most helminths of zoonotic importance are well known, there are
still major gaps in our knowledge especially in the fields of
epidemiology, diagnosis and treat- ment The International
Colloquium on Helminth Zoonoses held at the Institute of Tropical
Medicine, Antwerp, 11-12 December 1986, laid emphasis on more
recent advances made in the control and epidemiology of these
zoonotic diseases. The disease complexes
echinococcosis/hydatidosis, taeniasis/cysticercosis and the larva
migrans-syndrome were dealth with in considerable detail. In the
first chapter the phenomenon of strain variation in Echinococcus
spp. is examined in the light of newer findings. The progress made
in recent years towards a more specific diagnosis and drug
targeting in hydatidosis is reported. In the second chapter recent
advances in immunisation and treatment of cysticercosis are dealt
with. The possibili- ty of the existence of strain differences in
Taenia saginata is also dis- cussed. The third chapter is devoted
to trematode zoonoses with particular reference to the situation in
South-east Asia, Senegal (schistosomiasis) and Liberia
(paragonimiasis). In the last chapter the larva migrans- syndrome
is treated in detail with special attention to its etiology and and
diagnosis. Reports on lesser known nematode zoonoses like
mammomono- gamosis and oesophagostomiasis are included.
