Therapies and Procedures

1.	Drug Therapy (Chemotherapy) 01/01/2020 - "The viewpoint by White and colleagues critiquing the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of mass chemotherapy for Taenia solium taeniasis is unsubstantiated." 01/01/2020 - "The data are inadequate to assess safety and efficacy of mass chemotherapy for Taenia solium taeniasis." 01/01/2023 - "Three important projects have recently been completed: 1. Finalizing the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for the NTD Road Map (published May 2021; this PAHO/WHO CC was a member of the working group); 2. Developing new guidelines for the preventive chemotherapy of Taenia solium taeniasis (published September 2021; this PAHO/WHO CC was co-Chair; and 3. Formulating a policy brief on deworming for adolescent girls and women of reproductive age (published January 2022; this PAHO/WHO CC is co-lead). " 12/01/2021 - "Combined community health programs aiming at health education, preventive anti-parasitic chemotherapy, and vaccination of pigs have proven their potential to regionally reduce and even eliminate Taenia solium infections that are associated with a high risk of neurological disease through ingestion of T.
