1. Seroprevalence of human cysticercosis in Jataí, Goiás state, Brazil
ABSTRACT The Taenia solium cysticercosis affects millions of people worldwide and is considered a public health problem, especially in developing countries. The diagnosis of neurocysticercosis is complex and involves the analysis of epidemiological, clinical, neuroimaging, and immunological host data. Neurocysticercosis is endemic in Brazil, and is related t

2. EXPERIMENTAL SUBCUTANEOUS CYSTICERCOSIS BY Taenia crassiceps IN BALB/c AND C57BL/6 MICE
SUMMARY Human cysticercosis is one of the most severe parasitic infections affecting tissues. Experimental models are needed to understand the host-parasite dynamics involved throughout the course of the infection. The subcutaneous experimental model is the closest to what is observed in human cysticercosis that does not affect the central nervous system. Th

3. Levantamento epidemiológico do complexo teníase-cisticercose na zona rural do município de Viçosa-MG / Epidemiological survey of taeniasis-cysticercosis complex in the rural area of Viçosa-MG
O complexo teníase-cisticercose é caracterizado pela presença de duas doenças distintas causadas pelo mesmo parasito, porém, em fases de vida diferentes. A teníase é uma parasitose provocada pela presença da forma adulta da Taenia saginata e Taenia solium no intestino delgado do homem. Já a cisticercose é uma doença provocada pela presença da lar

4. Transcriptome analysis of Taenia solium cysticerci using Open Reading Frama ESTs (ORESTES)
Background: Human infection by the pork tapeworm Taenia solium affects more than 50 million people worldwide, particularly in underdeveloped and developing countries. Cysticercosis which arises from larval encystation can be life threatening and difficult to treat. Here, we investigate for the first time the transcriptome of the clinically relevant cysticerc

5. Evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot test for the confirmatory serodiagnosis of human toxocariasis
To improve the serodiagnosis of human toxocariasis, a sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB-IgG) test was developed and evaluated using Toxocara canislarvae excretory-secretory antigens for detecting anti-Toxocara IgG antibodies. The EITB-IgG profile of toxocariasis was characterized by comparing 27 sera from patients with tox

6. Enteroparasitas em humanos e cisticercose em suínos da área rural de Viçosa-MG / Intestinal parasites in human and swine cysticercosis in the rural area of Viçosa-MG
O complexo teníase-cisticercose constitui-se de duas doenças distintas. A teníase é provocada pela presença da forma adulta da Taenia solium ou da T. saginata no intestino delgado do ser humano quando ingere a forma larvária, e a cisticercose é causada pela presença do estágio larvar da T. saginata que acomete bovino, ou da T. solium, que acomete su

7. Taeniasis-cysticercosis in Southern Ecuador: assessment of infection status using multiple laboratory diagnostic tools
Taenia solium-taeniasis and cysticercosis were studied in the human and porcine populations of a rural community in the Southern Ecuadorian Andes. From the 1059 inhabitants, 800 serum samples and 958 stool samples could be collected. In addition, 646 from the estimated 1148 pigs were tongue inspected. Circulating antigen was detected by enzyme linked immunos

8. Notes on human cases of cystic echinococcosis in Peru
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a high prevalent zoonosis in the central and southern Peruvian Andes. Serum samples (n50)frompatients presenting presumptive clinical and radiological diagnosis of CE (group 1), were tested for antibodies against Echinococcus granulosus metacestode using Arc-5 double diffusion assay (DD5), immunoelectrophoresis (IEF), and immuno

10. Frequencia de Strongyloides stercoralis no Chile : detecção da parasitose mediante metodos parasitologicos e soroepidemiologicos
From 2000 to 2003, human serum samples of 2390 individuals and 600 dog fecal samples recovered in 13 squares and public parks in Chile were studied to determine the seroepidemiology of the Strongyloides stercoralis infection and the role of dogs on the transmission of this parasitose. Human serum samples were as follows: a) 10 S. stercoralis infected patient

11. Sorologic evaluation of swine cysticercosis by ELISA using antigens: total extract and scolex from Cysticercus cellulosae and vesicular fluid from Cysticercus longicollis / Avaliação sorológica da cisticercose suína pelo ELISA utilizando os antígenos: total e de escólex de Cysticercus cellulosae e líquido vesicular de Cysticercus longicollis
Swine cysticercosis is a disease caused by the Taenia soliums metacestodes, called Cysticercys cellulosae (Cisticerci). This disease is largely spread around the world and is more frequent in countries where swine meat consumption is high and sanitary conditions are poor, as in developing countries. Cysticercosis is harmful to the raising of the swine beca

12. Vaccination against Taenia solium cysticercosis
Taenia solium is a parasite that causes human cysticercosis. Its life cycle includes the adult stage, the egg and the larval stage. Human cysticercosis is a disease related to underdevelopment, the main clinical manifestation is neurocysticercosis. Control measures include mass cestocidal treatment aimed to cure possible taeniosis cases. Although useful it h
