Seroprevalence and Risk Factors for Cysticercosis in Mexican Americans in Starr County, Texas

Pathogens
Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection and neglected tropical disease caused by Taenia solium, or the pork tapeworm. Cysticercosis with central nervous system involvement, or neurocysticercosis, is a leading cause of chronic headaches and epilepsy in ...

Primary Spinal Intradural Hydatid Cysts in a Child With Progressive Paraparesis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Primary spinal hydatid cyst is an uncommon form of echinococcosis, which may cause focal neurological deficits. We report an extremely rare case of spinal hydatic cyst with several diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. A 4‐year‐old boy was referred to our medical center suffering from progressive lower back pain, weakness and numbness in both

A re-examination of Dithyridium cynocephali Ransom 1905, a metacestode parasite from the thylacine Thylacinus cynocephalus [PDF]

, 1989
Re-examination of Dithyridium cynocephali Ransom 1905, a metacestode parasite from the thylacine Thylacinus cynocephalus, has revealed it to be morphologically indistinguishable from metacestodes of the tapeworm Anoplotaenia dasyuri found in the eastern

Novel Worker‐Like Behavior Observed in Gynes of the Social Parasite Tetramorium microgyna

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our article reports, to our knowledge, the first observations of inquiline gynes performing worker tasks for their host colony. We dissected these gynes to establish that they were all unmated. We hypothesize that nest excavation by social parasites represents an artifact of a non‐parasitic past.

Helminth induced suppression of macrophage activation is correlated with inhibition of calcium channel activity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Helminth parasites cause persistent infections in humans and yet many infected individuals are asymptomatic. Neurocysticercosis (NCC), a disease of the central nervous system (CNS) caused by the cestode Taenia solium, has a long asymptomatic phase ...

Mast Cell Response to Cestode Infection

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1963
SummaryMast cells have been found in the cyst wall of a larval cestode parasite (Hydatigena taeniaeformis). The mast cells were present in the outer 2 layers of the cyst wall. This indicates that the entire cyst wall is of host-inflammatory origin and not derived from parasite tissue nor solely from modified host-liver cells.

Parasite–microbiota interactions potentially affect intestinal communities in wild mammals [PDF]

, 2018
1. Detecting interaction between species is notoriously difficult, and disentangling species associations in host-related gut communities is especially challenging.

Helminth gut parasites of black grouse Lyrurus tetrix in northern England, their impact on productivity and possible sources of infection

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Black grouse Lyrurus tetrix declines continue throughout much of temperate Europe, following habitat loss and population isolation, associated with reduced productivity. In northern England, only 1437 lekking males remained in 2014, genetically isolated from other UK populations, and typified by low productivity but high adult survival.

Pericardial Hydatid Cyst in a Patient With Multisensory Impairments: Case Report and Review

Clinical Case Reports
A pericardial hydatid cyst (HC) is a rare manifestation of echinococcosis that can present with various clinical features. Management planning depends on the symptoms, involvement, and anatomical features of the HC.

A multiplex PCR assay for the simultaneous detection of Taenia hydatigena, T. multiceps, T. pisiformis, and Dipylidium caninum infections

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Taenia hydatigena, T. multiceps, T. pisiformis, and Dipylidium caninum are four common large and medium-sized tapeworms parasitizing the small intestine of dogs and other canids.
