Risk factors for Taenia solium taeniasis: A case–control study in Lao PDR

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 8, Page 848-852, August 2025.
Abstract Introduction Neurocysticercosis due to Taenia solium is the leading cause of epilepsy in low and middle‐income countries yet remains under investigated in Lao PDR (Laos). People shedding T. solium eggs or proglottids from the adult tapeworm are the source of infection for those with cysticercosis.

Exosomal microRNA let-7-5p from Taenia pisiformis Cysticercus Prompted Macrophage to M2 Polarization through Inhibiting the Expression of C/EBP δ

Microorganisms, 2021
Cysticercus pisiformis, the larval stage of Taenia pisiformis, causes serious illness in rabbits that severely impacts the rabbit breeding industry. An inhibitive Th2 immune response can be induced by let-7-enriched exosomes derived from T.

Prevalence of Cysticercosis in Pigs and Risk Assessment Among Occupationally Exposed Workers in Benue State, Nigeria

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
• 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.

Disseminated Neurocysticercosis With Intraventricular and Cisternal Extension Without Hydrocephalus: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
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
