Antígenos de larvas de Taenia crassiceps e Taenia solium em teste ELISA para diagnóstico da cisticercose bovina
… ELISA empregando dois antígenos de larvas de Taenia crassiceps e três de Taenia solium. Foram utilizados 20 soros de bovinos infectados experimentalmente com ovos de T. saginata, 60 de bovinos com infecção natural, diagnosticados em matadouros, cinco de bovinos negativos para cisticercose, …

Investigating neural responses in models of neurocysticercosis
… of brain infections by larvae of the pig cestode Taenia solium, a condition termed neurocysticercosis. Despite the large nature of the problem, little is known about how neurocysticercosis modulates neuronal responses to result in the development of seizures. In this thesis I have used the cestode …

Exploring molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying seizures in neurocysticercosis
… is a disease in which larvae of the tapeworm, Taenia solium, infect the central nervous system of humans. Seizures are the most common symptom of NCC, occurring in between 70 % and 90 % of all symptomatic NCC cases. Neurocysticercosis impacts heavily on the quality of life of patients, and …

Investigating cestode modulation of host neuronal excitability and cell-type-specific gene expression in an in vitro mouse model of neurocysticercosis
Neurocysticercosis (NCC), caused by Taenia solium larvae, is the leading helminthic brain infection in humans, with epilepsy as its most common manifestation. Interestingly, seizures are rare during early stages when viable larvae are thought to suppress host inflammation. Seizures tend to occur …
