As is the case for all of Southeast Europe, Serbia is an area traditionally endemic for Taenia saginata and Taenia solium infections. This study was performed to analyse the epidemiological data on taeniosis and cysticercosis in Serbia for the period 1990-2018.
Data on cases of T. saginata and T. solium infection were collected via a systematic search of published articles, the grey literature, and official reports, as well as by performing clinical observational studies of patients treated in the departments for infectious diseases of hospitals and university clinics in Serbia.
A total of 212 cases of taeniosis were reported, all between 1997 and 2004 when taeniosis was notifiable (incidence range 0.04-0.9/100 000 population/year). From 1990 to 2018, 170 cases of cysticercosis (all but one of neurocysticercosis), were registered (incidence range 0-0.29/100 000 population/year), with a strong decrease since 2000 and a single case in the last 9 years. The annual number of cases of both taeniosis (Pearson's r = 0.914, p = 0.001) and cysticercosis (Pearson's r = 0.582, p = 0.014) correlated with the consumer price index.
In Serbia, T. saginata and T. solium infections are autochthonous but occur only sporadically. However, the potential for re-emergence exists, depending on the socio-economic state of the country.
与整个东南欧一样，塞尔维亚是传统的囊尾蚴病和猪囊尾蚴病流行区。本研究旨在分析 1990 年至 2018 年期间塞尔维亚囊虫病和囊尾蚴病的流行病学数据。
通过系统搜索已发表的文章、灰色文献和官方报告，以及对塞尔维亚各医院传染病科和大学诊所治疗的患者进行临床观察性研究，收集了关于绦虫病和猪囊尾蚴病感染病例的数据。
共报告了 212 例绦虫病病例，均发生在 1997 年至 2004 年绦虫病报告期间（发病率范围为 0.04-0.9/100000 人口/年）。1990 年至 2018 年，共登记了 170 例囊虫病（均为神经囊虫病，除 1 例外）（发病率范围为 0-0.29/100000 人口/年），自 2000 年以来呈明显下降趋势，9 年来仅有 1 例。绦虫病（皮尔逊相关系数 r=0.914，p=0.001）和囊虫病（皮尔逊相关系数 r=0.582，p=0.014）的年病例数与消费者价格指数呈正相关。
在塞尔维亚，绦虫病和猪囊尾蚴病是土源性感染，但仅零星发生。然而，根据该国的社会经济状况，仍存在再次流行的可能性。
