cysticercus

"The only one I can think of that invades the brain is cysticercus."

Several immediate family members of these four patients with seizures were found to have cysticercus antibodies.

The cysticercus larva completes development in about 2 months.

The ova develop into cysticercus in pig muscles.

Research studies have been focusing on vaccine against cestode parasites, since many immune cell types are found to be capable of destroying cysticercus.

In that case, a cysticercus (a larva sometimes called a "bladder worm") develops in the human, who acts as an intermediate host.

Human becomes infected when they ingest raw or undercooked "measly pork" that contains viable cysticercus.

Infections with cysticercus occur after humans consume the ova from exogenous sources or through self-infection via the fecal-oral route.

The intermediate host is represented by hares and rabbits, in which we find the mesacestoide (the larval stage) known as: cysticercus pisiformis.

A cysticercoid is the larval stage of certain tapeworms, similar in appearance to a cysticercus, but having the scolex filling completely the enclosing cyst.

The OML provides a programme promoting control of Cysticercus ovis (sheep measles) in livestock.

Cysticercus fasciolaris, the larval form of the common tapeworm of the cat, Taenia taeniaformis, causes cancer in rats.

The common one is the ordinary "cellulose" cysticercus, which has a fluid-filled bladder 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm in length and an invaginated scolex.

In 1983, Molinari et al. reported the first vaccine candidate against porcine cysticercosis using antigen from cysticercus cellulosae drawn out from naturally infected.

The protoscolex of cysticercus of the Taiwan Taenia has a sunken rostellum while that of T. saginata has only an apical pit.

The digestive enzymes break down the cysticercus and the larval cyst is released and the inverted scolex is able to come out and attach to the host's intestine.

This is where the young larval stages form a pea-sized, fluid filled cyst, also known as "cysticercus", which migrate to visceral organs like liver, serosa and lungs in pigs, and liver in cattle.

The families of the four patients had all employed housekeepers from Latin American countries, and one of the housekeepers tested positive for cysticercus antibodies, leading to the conclusion that the housekeepers were the most likely source of the infections.
