cysticercus

Humans become infected by consuming raw or undercooked beef containing viable cysticerci (CARVALHO et al., 2006).

solium with undercooked pork infected with cysticerci as the major identified source.

Eggs reach the digestive tract of the rabbit, and after hatching, the oncospheres migrate to various organs, resulting in granulomatous lesions or giving rise to the phase of cysticerci or metacestode, that are mainly housed in the peritoneal cavity.

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is seen in 60-90% of infested patients with cerebrum and cerebellum as common sites but cysticerci may involve brainstem, basal ganglion, thalamus, and lateral sinus as well [4].

In a previous work the purification and general kinetic properties of TGR from the larval stage (cysticerci) of Taenia crassiceps were reported [14].

solium eggs or gravid proglottid contamination, and oncospheres are hatched and developed into cysticerci, which would bring great harm to the host.

Humans can become infected by eating raw or undercooked meat or organs infected with cysticerci.
