Evagination of Taenia solium Cysticerci A Histologic and Electron Microscopy Study

Short Communication:In VitroEfficacy Testing of Praziquantel, Ivermectin, and Oxfendazole againstTaenia SoliumCysts

“…The cysts were incubated for 6 hours in a Yamato Incubator (Japan) at 37°C and subsequently investigated for evagination by visual inspection. Evagination had occurred, when the bladder wall opened and the neck and scolex emerged [10]. Evagination as effect measurement was established based on Sikasunge and coworkers [6] .…”

State of the Art of Taenia solium as Compared to Taenia asiatica

“…Cellulose type cysticerci are conformed by 2 chambers; the inner one contains the scolex and the spiral canal and is surrounded by the outer compartment that contains the vesicular fluid, usually less than 0.5 ml. When a person ingests a living cysticercus, the first event that takes place is the widening of the pore of the bladder wall for the scolex and neck to emerge, leaving the bladder wall and vesicular fluid to disintegrate in the digestive tract [4]. It becomes the definitive host (Fig.…”

Epidemiology of Neurocysticercosis in Mexico: From a Public Health Problem to Its Control

“…Yoshino published detailed histological descriptions of the development of cysticerci, including the formation of the scolex and the size and appearance of its hooks, after he fed proglottids to pigs, released by him because he ingested cysticerci [5][6][7][8] and Rabiela demonstrated that there are intermediate forms between a cellulose and a recemose type cysticercus and that cysticerci evaginate through a pore. (Figure 4) [9,10]. The first report regarding NCC in Mexico, probably lost in the old Mexican literature, was published in 1901; the author, Dr. Ignacio Gómez-Izquierdo, described a patient from Cuba who died in a psichiatric asylum with diagnosis of alcoholism or tuberculosis.…”
