Infestation of extraocular muscle by Cysticercus cellulosae.
Reports of orbital cysticercosis are uncommon despite the high incidence of brain and ocular involvement. Infestation of extraocular muscle is exceedingly rare. Two cases of cysticercosis of the extraocular muscles are reported here. Surgical removal of the encysted parasites successfully resolved the infestation in both cases.
متن کاملComparisons between scolex and membrane antigens of Cysticercus fasciolaris and Cysticercus cellulosae larvae for immunodiagnosis of neurocysticercosis.
The antigen source for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and enzyme-linked immunotransfer blot for neurocysticercosis is generally Taenia solium. A comparison of the membrane and scolex extracts of Cysticercus cellulosae and Cysticercus fasciolaris (larval stage of Taenia taeniaeformis) for the immunodiagnosis of neurocysticercosis has been performed. C. fasciolaris cysts were produced ...
متن کاملStudies on the development of DNA vaccine against Cysticercus cellulosae infection and its efficacy.
DNA vaccine against Cysticercus cellulosae infection was developed and its efficacy was tested. A pair of primers specific to antigen B gene of C. cellulosae was designed which amplified the gene successfully with RT-PCR. The gene was ligated to PV93 vector, and the recombinant of antigen B gene and PV93 was transformed to JM83 cells. The transformed JM83 cells were cultured in a large scale an...
متن کاملEffect of Cysticercus cellulosae fractions on the respiratory burst of pig neutrophils.
Neutrophils, eosinophils and macrophages are cells that interact with invading parasites and naive hosts have been shown to have anti-parasitic activity. The initial reaction of these leukocytes is the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to play in parasite expulsion. The present work was carried out to study the effect of total extract, scolex and membrane fractions from Cysticercus ce...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of Cysticercus cellulosae and associated risk factors in free-range pigs in Kenya.
Porcine cysticercosis is an emerging zoonosis with public health and economic importance. A cross-sectional study was undertaken to investigate the disease in free-range pigs on 182 smallholder farms in Busia District, Kenya. The survey households were selected using a snowballing technique. Serum samples were obtained from 284 pigs of all ages at farm level and 37 pigs from slaughter slabs in ...
