Biochemical characterization and gene structure analysis of the 24‐kDa glutathione transferase sigma from Taenia solium

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 726-739, May 2024.
Glutathione transferases (GST) are involved in detoxification and immunomodulation, allowing the establishment and development of cestodes in the host. Taenia solium has a 24‐kDa GST sigma class inducible gene that encodes a stable enzyme in a wide range of pHs and temperatures. Its enzymatic activity differs from other GSTs in the parasite, suggesting

Taenia solium cysticerci's extracellular vesicles Attenuate the AKT/mTORC1 pathway for Alleviating DSS‐induced colitis in a murine model

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2024.
Schematic description of AKT/mTORC1 pathway supression by Taenia solium derived EV particles on macrophages. Abstract The excretory–secretory proteome plays a pivotal role in both intercellular communication during disease progression and immune escape mechanisms of various pathogens including cestode parasites like Taenia solium.

Epilepsy and neurocysticercosis in rural areas of the Bolivian Chaco: What has changed during the last 30 years?

Epilepsia Open, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 513-521, April 2024.
Abstract Objective Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is considered the major cause of epilepsy in endemic regions. In the rural areas of the Bolivian Chaco prevalence of NCC among people with epilepsy (PWE) was 27.4%, according to a population‐based survey carried out in 1994. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of Epilepsy Associated with Tonic–
