Aspects of Genetic Diversity, Host Specificity and Public Health Significance of Single‐Celled Intestinal Parasites Commonly Observed in Humans and Mostly Referred to as ‘Non‐Pathogenic’

APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge

Hydrophobic fraction of Taenia saginata metacestodes, rather than hydrophilic fraction, contains immunodominant markers for diagnosing human neurocysticercosis Fração hidrofóbica de metacestódeos de Taenia saginata, ao contrário da fração hidrofílica, contém marcadores imunodominantes para o diagnóstico de neurocisticercose humana

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2010
INTRODUCTION: Considering that alternative antigens for diagnosing neurocysticercosis continue to be a challenge because of the increasing difficulty in obtaining parasites from naturally infected pigs for preparation of Taenia solium homologous antigen,

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.
