Proteomic analysis of Taenia solium cysticercus and adult stages
Taenia solium (T. solium) cysticercosis is a neglected parasitic zoonosis that occurs in developing countries. Since T. solium has a complex life cycle that includes eggs, oncospheres, cysticerci, and adults, presumably many proteins are produced that ...

Laboratory Diagnosis of Neurocysticercosis (Taenia solium) [PDF]
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 immune response of the host.

Abstract Objective Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a common parasitic infection of the central nervous system and a known cause of focal epilepsy. Its potential role in triggering or contributing to mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE‐HS) is suggested, but the impact on brain volumetry remains unclear.

Cognitive Manifestations of Racemose Neurocysticercosis: A Two Case Report
Abstract Background Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a central nervous system infection caused by the larval form of the tapeworm Taenia solium, endemic in Latin America and Asia. It can present as intraparenchymal or racemose (rNCC) forms, with symptoms including epilepsy, headaches, and intracranial hypertension.

Enrichment of Helminth Mitochondrial Genomes From Faecal Samples Using Hybridisation Capture
ABSTRACT New approaches are urgently needed to enrich rare or low‐abundant DNA in complex samples. Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) inhabit heterogeneous environments, including the gastrointestinal tract of their host as adults and are excreted as eggs and larvae in faeces, complicating our understanding of their biology and the use of genetic tools ...

A Rare Manifestation of Cysticercosis Infestation
There are many causes of urticaria, which may vary from infections to malignancy. Among the infections, infestations by cysticercosis (larval stage of the tapeworm called Taenia solium) is an important cause.

The Effect of Climate Change on Emergence and Evolution of Zoonotic Diseases in Asia
ABSTRACT As the climate of Asia changes under the influence of global warming, the incidence and spatial distribution of known zoonoses will evolve, and new zoonoses are expected to emerge as a result of greater exposure to organisms which currently occur only in wildlife.
