亚洲带绦虫是一种人类绦虫，首先在台湾原住民中被发现，随后来自亚洲国家：韩国，印度尼西亚，越南和中国。根据其成虫和幼虫阶段的形态，最初将其描述为T asiatica Eom and Rim，1993。分类上的分歧，无论是种或亚种水平，主要是由于这种绦虫与T saginata的形态相似，但这两种绦虫的同域分布在中国也是已知的。生活史以猪为中间宿主，寄生于肝、肺、网膜等内脏器官，与牛锥虫有明显区别。一个长期悬而未决的问题，在亚洲国家关注的蠕虫比例和食物偏好之间的不一致性，澄清了这种内脏嗜性绦虫。利用DNA技术进行分子生物学鉴定是可能的，最近完成的线粒体全基因组测序为比较线粒体基因组学和寄生绦虫的系统研究提供了资料。这是最近发现的一种年轻的寄生虫，有许多研究问题尚未澄清。(C)2005爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
Asian Taenia is a human tapeworm which was first recognized in Taiwan aborigines and subsequently from Asian countries: Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, and China. It was originally described as T asiatica Eom and Rim, 1993 based on the morphology in its adult and larval stage. A taxonomic disagreement on whether it is species or subspecies level is mainly due to the morphological similarity of this tapeworm with T saginata, but a sympatric distribution of these two tapeworms is also known in China. The life cycle is quite distinct from T saginata in using the pig as intermediate host and parasitizing visceral organs such as liver, lung and omentum. A long unresolved question in Asian countries concerns the inconsistency between worm ratio and the food preferences was clarified with this viscerotropic tapeworm. Molecular biological differentiation is possible with DNA techniques and a complete genome of mtDNA was sequenced recently which may provide a resource for comparative mitochondrial genomics and systematic studies of parasitic cestodes. This is a young parasite discovered most recently with many research questions yet to be clarified. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
