Controversially this paper provides evidence to suggest that pig-pig transmission of T. solium is possible through coprophagy: a finding that might help explain the disseminated nature of porcine cysticercosis in endemic communities.

28. Garcia HH, Gonzalez AE, Gilman RH, et al. Combined human and porcine mass chemotherapy for the control of T. solium. Am J Trop Med Hyg 2006; 74:850-855. Single dose mass treatment (niclosamide) of human taeniasis and two rounds of cysticidal dosing (oxfendazole) of pigs in 12 communities in Peru reduced prevalence/incidence of T. solium after 18 months but failed to eliminate transmission. This provides important results for consideration of control options.

Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg 2006; 100:346-353. T. saginata taeniasis appears to have increased in Bali (village rates 1-27%) with a parallel decrease in T. solium probably from a change in food preferences.
