[Human taeniarhynchosis in the CSSR. Report given during the IVth symposium of the GDR on "Taeniarhynchosis-Cysticercosis" on April 26th, 1974 in Schwerin].
In the CSSR Taeniarhynchosis is not a notifiable disease. The details of frequency of occurrence of this disease are mainly based on investigations by the government medical laboratories, Prague. The number of persons infected with Taeniarhynchus saginatus increased in the last six years to 1700. Therefore this represents an increase of three times with carriers of tapeworm, as much compared with the results of previous years. The reason for this is not regarded as unsatisfactory veterinary observation by the government but the increase in consumption of raw beef.
