On a global scale, human cystic and alveolar echinococcoses and cysticercosis, caused by Taenia solium, are classed as neglected zoonotic diseases (NZD) due to their high burden of disease which together is greater than 2 million lost DALYs (WHO, 2005, 2010; Budke et al. 2006; Craig et al. 2007). These cestodes require two mammalian hosts for the completion of their life-cycle through natural or anthropogenic-mediated predator–prey systems. Human taeniases are caused by the adult stage of three species, Taenia solium, T. saginata andT. asiatica all of which are food-or meat-borne cestodiases (Ito et al. 2003 a; Pawlowski, 2006; Flisser et al. 2011). T. solium is unique, since it is the only one of these three species that can cause human cysticercosis, one of the most potentially lethal helminthiases contracted from accidental ingestion of eggs of this species (Ito et al. 2003 a). Animal cysticercoses, caused by the three human Taenia species as well as several other Taenia species, normally infect domestic and/or wild animals. In developed countries, where meat inspection is routine and livestock generally raised under strict controls, human taeniases are uncommon. In this special issue, we mainly focus on taeniases/cysticercoses and echinococcoses in developing countries and regions of Eurasia. To begin with Ito (2013) reviews the caveats and advances in immunological and molecular studies of cestode zoonoses based on over 40-years’ experience. The first topics in this special issue focus on human taeniases as foodborne infections. They are generally more common in
