Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic effects in neurocysticercosis
Grey and white matter pathological differences in neurocysticercosis. Grey matter showing severe spongy change (arrows), inflammatory infiltrate (arrowhead), and abundant axonal spheroids (arrows), while white matter showing slight spongy change (arrow), inflammatory infiltrate (arrowhead), and small varicosities (arrows).

Taeniasis among Refugees Living on Thailand–Myanmar Border, 2012
We tested refugee camp residents on the Thailand–Myanmar border for Taenia solium infection. Taeniasis prevalence was consistent with that for other disease-endemic regions, but seropositivity indicating T. solium taeniasis was rare.

Minimal purification method enables developability assessment of recombinant proteins
Abstract Analytical characterization of proteins is a critical task for developing therapeutics and subunit vaccine candidates. Assessing candidates with a battery of biophysical assays can inform the selection of one that exhibits properties consistent with a given target product profile (TPP).

Cysticercus tenuicollis isolates were collected. gDNA of the cyst materials was obtained using the kit protocol. The results of the PCR analysis revealed a band of 866 bp for all samples. All sequences were determined to be T. hydatigena by BLAST analysis.

Control of Taenia solium Cysticercosis/Taeniosis
Cysticercosis is emerging as a serious public health and agricultural problem in many poorer countries of Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Caused by the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, this zoonotic disease forms larval cysts in humans and pigs that can lead to epilepsy and death in humans, reduces the market value of pigs and makes pork unsafe to eat ...

Prolactin in the Cestodes, Taenia solium and Taenia hydatigena
The demonstration of prolactin in cestodes, Taenia solium and Taenia hydatigena, was investigated by using immunocytochemical method. PRL immunoreactivity was widely distributed in the CNS and PNS in the worms. In the scolex PRL-IR perikarya occurred in the cerebral ganglia, around the basic area of the sucker and the rostral border region between the ...

Solitary Brain Mass in a Patient with Seizures: An Unexpected Infectious Etiology
Neurocysticercosis is a parasitosis caused by the larval stage of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. The diagnosis is challenging as morphology on neuroimaging can be inconclusive and serology is frequently negative.

State of the Art of Taenia solium as Compared to Taenia asiatica
Three species of tapeworms infect humans in their adult stage (Taenia solium, Taenia saginata and Taenia asiatica). The 3 are flat, opaque white or yellowish, and exceptional long segmented parasites, measuring 1 to 12 m in their adult stage. In this review, the development of the knowledge regarding the first species, mainly focused on understanding ...
