Taenia saginata is the most common human tapeworm worldwide but has been unknown in Myanmar. In 2017, fecal examination in Yangon, Myanmar, revealed eggs of Taenia species in 2 children from a monastic school. Several proglottids expelled after medication with praziquantel were morphologically and molecularly confirmed to be T. saginata tapeworms.
牛带绦虫是世界范围内最常见的人体绦虫，但在缅甸尚未被发现。2017 年，在缅甸仰光对 2 名来自一所寺院学校的儿童进行粪便检查时发现了带绦虫属虫卵。在使用吡喹酮进行药物治疗后排出的几条节片，经形态学和分子鉴定确认为牛带绦虫。
