Abstract

Beef tape worm a zoonotic helminth of platyhelminth phylum, is reported here in a 28-year-old female patient from Tehran, Iran taking advantage of microscopic and molecular techniques. The occurrence of this infection has been recorded high in previous decades in Iran while its record nowadays looks rare in the country. Two 18s and Cox1 fragments were amplified and sequenced successfully using specific primers. This case underscores the potential for Taenia saginata transmission in the region, warranting rigorous slaughterhouse inspections and enhanced public awareness efforts. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
