Fifty-four pools of beetles were collected in three villages in Piura, Peru. DNA was extracted using the FastDNA spin kit for soil. Molecular identification of <jats:italic>Taenia<\/jats:italic> species was then performed through partial amplification of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I gene. Finally, positive samples were sequenced to determine the tapeworm species. Seven positive samples were obtained through polymerase chain reaction amplification. Sequencing confirmed that two samples were from <jats:italic>T. solium<\/jats:italic> and three samples were from <jats:italic>Taenia hydatigena<\/jats:italic>. The other two samples could not be specifically identified. Our findings demonstrate that dung beetles ingest <jats:italic>T. solium<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>T. hydatigena<\/jats:italic> eggs under natural conditions and suggest that beetles may play a role in the dynamics of transmission of these cestodes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.18-0355","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,11]],"date-time":"2018-09-11T07:01:02Z","timestamp":1536649262000},"page":"1198-1200","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Molecular Detection of Taeniid Eggs in Beetles Collected in an Area Endemic for Taenia solium"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"Ana","family":"Vargas-Calla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luis A.","family":"Gomez-Puerta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Monica J.","family":"Pajuelo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Infectious Diseases, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Lima, Peru;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hector H.","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Center for Global Health, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Lima, Peru;"},{"name":"Cysticercosis Unit, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Neurol\u00f3gicas, Lima, Peru"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Armando E.","family":"Gonzalez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"_","family":"_","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru;"},{"name":"Laboratory of Infectious Diseases, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Lima, Peru;"},{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Center for Global Health, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Lima, Peru;"},{"name":"Cysticercosis Unit, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Neurol\u00f3gicas, Lima, Peru"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Ann Trop Med Parasitol","first-page":"436","article-title":"A review of methods of sewage disposal in Great Britain, with special reference to the epizootiology of Cysticercus bovis","volume":"49","author":"Silverman","year":"1955"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Problemy Parazitologii","first-page":"69","article-title":"Wild birds as possible vectors of Taenia saginata oncospheres","volume":"1","author":"Gladkov","year":"1969"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"Parasitol Int","first-page":"S131","article-title":"Transmission dynamics of Taenia solium and potential for pig-to-pig transmission","volume":"55","author":"Gonzalez","year":"2006"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"372","article-title":"Dung beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) and other insects in relation to human feces in a hookworm area of southern Georgia","volume":"3","author":"Miller","year":"1954"},{"key":"b5","series-title":"Parasitology","first-page":"129","article-title":"The potential role of blowflies in the transmission of taeniid tapeworm eggs","volume":"91","author":"Lawson","year":"1985"},{"key":"b6","series-title":"Angew Parasitol","first-page":"133","article-title":"The possible role of the soil fauna in the epizootiology of cysticercosis in cattle.
