    Area of Science:

    • Parasitology
    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Historical and medieval literature on helminths, particularly tapeworms, is reviewed.
    • Common misconceptions regarding tapeworm prevalence in The Netherlands are addressed.
    • The study focuses on the tapeworm Taenia saginata.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the actual incidence of Taenia saginata in humans in The Netherlands.
    • To analyze the consistency of the Taenia saginata life cycle over time.

    Summary:

    • The incidence of Taenia saginata was calculated using data from bovine cysticerci and anthelmintic sales.
    • Tapeworm prevalence in The Netherlands was found to be relatively common, estimated at 0.2-0.3%.
    • The life cycle pattern of Taenia saginata has remained notably stable for the last 25 years.
