Laboratory Diagnosis of Neurocysticercosis (Taenia solium)

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2018
Neurocysticercosis accounts for approximately 30% of all epilepsy cases in most developing countries. The immunodiagnosis of cysticercosis is complex and strongly influenced by the course of infection, the disease burden, the cyst location, and the ...

Impact of Health Education Interventions for Control of Taenia solium Cysticercosis/Taeniasis in Endemic Countries: A Systematic Review

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
This systematic review assessed health education interventions for controlling Taenia solium taeniasis/cysticercosis. Of 392 studies screened, 21 met the inclusion criteria. Findings showed that community‐based education improved knowledge, attitudes and practices, with short‐term behavioural changes and reduced prevalence, although long‐term impact ...

Neurocysticercosis: A Review [PDF]

The Scientific World Journal, 2012
Neuroysticercosis is the most common helminthic infection of the nervous system, and a leading cause of acquired epilepsy worldwide. The disease occurs when humans become intermediate hosts ofTaenia soliumby ingesting its eggs from contaminated food or, most often, directly from a taenia carrier by the fecal-to-oral route.

Paroxysmal slow wave events as a diagnostic biomarker for epilepsy: Lessons from rural Zambia

Epilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 12, Page 4869-4880, December 2025.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy affects more than 50 million people globally, with low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) bearing the greatest burden due to limited medical resources and stigma. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a cost‐effective diagnostic tool, but its interpretation often requires unavailable expertise in rural areas. There is a pressing

THE IMPACT OF SEIZURES ON COGNITIVE ABILITIES OF PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Jurnal Kedokteran dan Kesehatan
Neurocysticercosis is one of the most encountered infectious diseases caused by parasites. This condition is caused by an infection of the larvae (cysticercus) of the tapeworm Taenia Solium in the central nervous system.

Extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis: Demographic, clinicoradiological, and inflammatory features

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Background Extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis (ExPNCC), an infection caused by Taenia solium cysticerci that mainly occurs in the ventricular compartment (Ve) or the basal subarachnoid space (SAb), is more severe but less frequent and much less studied ...

Micro/Nanorobots for Combating Brain Disorders: Challenges, Advances, and Perspectives

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 44, November 27, 2025.
Micro/nanorobots (MNRs) offer a transformative approach for precision therapy in brain disorders. By overcoming biological barriers and enabling controlled propulsion, targeted delivery, and real‐time imaging/tracking, MNRs pave the way toward effective, minimally invasive treatments. This review outlines the interplay between brain disease challenges,

Systematic review and meta-analysis estimating association of cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis with epilepsy

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Background We reviewed studies that analyzed cysticercosis (CC), neurocysticercosis (NCC) and epilepsy across Latin America, Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, to estimate the odds ratio and etiologic fraction of epilepsy due to CC in tropical regions ...
