Transcriptome analysis of Taenia solium cysticerci using Open reading Frame ESTS (ORESTES) [PDF]
Background Human infection by the pork tapeworm Taenia solium affects more than 50 million people worldwide, particularly in underdeveloped and developing countries. Cysticercosis which arises from larval encystation can be life threatening and difficult

Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by larval cysts of the tapeworm Taenia solium. It is highly prevalent in rural areas of developing countries with poor sanitary conditions. We report a rare case of extensive disseminated cysticercosis in a 98-year-old woman who was brought to the emergency department following a fall.

• Porcine cysticercosis is endemic in pigs raised in Makurdi slaughterhouses. The prevalence is observed to be higher in older pigs, suggesting that age may be a potential risk factor. • Cysticerci were predominantly found in the shoulder muscles of pig carcasses, highlighting the part as a critical focus for future interventions.

ABSTRACT Neurocysticercosis, a leading cause of acquired epilepsy, can present as disseminated disease with widespread cystic lesions. A 33‐year‐old male with seizures and weakness showed radiologically confirmed neurocysticercosis. Treatment with steroids, antiparasitics, and antiseizure medication led to improvement. Early diagnosis and public health

ABSTRACT Aim Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the leading cause of eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, is well established in eastern Australia. Prolonged wet weather in Queensland during 2021–2022 coincided with anecdotal reports of increased neuroangiostrongyliasis cases, prompting an evaluation of paediatric cases from 2013 to 2022.
