Toxocara Brain Infection in Pigs Is Not Associated with Visible Lesions on Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020)
Human exposure to Toxocara spp. is very frequent, and its larvae can cross the blood-brain barrier and invade the central nervous system (CNS), causing neurotoxocariasis. We aimed to establish a neurotoxocariasis animal ...
Disruption of the blood-brain barrier in pigs naturally infected with Taenia solium, untreated and after anthelmintic treatment
(Elsevier, 2013)
Neurocysticercosis is a widely prevalent disease in the tropics that causes seizures and a variety into of neurological symptoms in most of the world. Experimental models are limited and do not allow assessment of the ...
Hippocampal Atrophy/Sclerosis Is Associated with Old, Calcified Parenchymal Brain Neurocysticercosis, But Not with More Recent, Viable Infections
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2022)
Magnetic resonance images from 197 patients with calcified neurocysticercosis (NCC), 38 with viable NCC and 197 NCC-free healthy rural villagers were evaluated to compare the frequency of hippocampal atrophy/sclerosis (HAS) ...
Brucella abortus traverses brain microvascular endothelial cells using infected monocytes as a Trojan horse
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018-06)
Neurobrucellosis is an inflammatory disease caused by the invasion of Brucella spp. to the central nervous system (CNS). The pathogenesis of the disease is not well characterized; however, for Brucella to gain access to ...
Occasional resolution of multiple parenchymal brain calcifications in patients with neurocysticercosis
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2015)
Neurocysticercosis is the infection of the CNS by cysts (larvae) of Taenia solium, a worldwide tropical disease. Cysticercosis lesions frequently locate in the gray-white matter border of the cerebral hemispheres but also ...
Neurocysticercosis: A natural human model of epileptogenesis
(Wiley, 2015)
Objective: To develop a better understanding of mechanisms of seizures and long-term epileptogenesis using neurocysticercosis. Methods A workshop was held bringing together experts in epilepsy and epileptogenesis and ...
Novel rat model for neurocysticercosis using Taenia solium
(Elsevier, 2015)
Neurocysticercosis is caused by Taenia solium infecting the central nervous system and is the leading cause of acquired epilepsy and convulsive conditions worldwide. Research into the pathophysiology of the disease and ...
Post-treatment vascular leakage and inflammatory responses around brain cysts in porcine neurocysticercosis
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
Cysticidal treatment of neurocysticercosis, an infection of humans and pig brains with Taenia solium, results in an early inflammatory response directed to cysts causing seizures and focal neurological manifestations. ...
Morphological and biochemical repercussions of Toxoplasma gondii infection in a 3D human brain neurospheres model
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Background: Toxoplasmosis is caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii that can infect the central nervous system (CNS), promoting neuroinflammation, neuronal loss, neurotransmitter imbalance and behavioral alterations. T. ...
Axonal swellings and spheroids: a new insight into the pathology of neurocysticercosis
(Wiley, 2018)
Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic brain disease caused by the larval form (Cysticercus cellulosae) of the Taenia solium and is the leading cause of preventable epilepsy world-wide. However, the pathophysiology and relation ...
