DOI: 10.1007/s00436-017-5614-8
Abstract: Taenia crassiceps cysticerci are used as experimental model to study the host-parasite relationship and treatment of cysticercosis. One of the described mode of actions of nitazoxanide (NTZ) is to block the pyruvate ferredoxine oxidoreductase (PFOR)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12262-020-02538-8
Abstract: Breast cysticercosis is difficult to diagnose as the clinical manifestations are non-specific. We report a case of an isolated cysticercosis of the breast presenting as a breast lump which was diagnosed based on the clinical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.molbiopara.2020.111321
Abstract: Cysticerci of Taenia solium cause cysticercosis, with neurocysticercosis (NCC) as the major pathology. Sensible and specific recombinant antigens would be an source of antigen for immunodiagnosis. The objective of this work was the molecular characterization… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2017.07.008
Abstract: BACKGROUND Spinal cysticercosis has been reported in 0.7%-3.0% of patients with neurocysticercosis. Most patients with spinal cysticercosis have a coexisting intracranial disease. Most often this intracranial disease manifests as intradural extramedullary lesions involving thoracic and… read more here.
