The Chemistry of Cysticercus Fasciolaris

The sarcomas arising in rat livers at the surface of the cysts surrounding the tapeworm larvae, Cysticercus fasciolaris (Taeniu taeniaformis), have been extensively studied by Curtis, Dunning, and Bullock, (1). Recently in this laboratory, as part of a cooperative investigation sponsored by The International Cancer Research Foundation, a chemical investigation of the extractable components of t...

Comparisons 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 ...

Studies on Cysticercus Fasciolaris, Especially on the Difference of Susceptibility among Uniform Strains of the Mouse

Cysticercus fasciolaris in Brown Rats (Rattus norvegicus) in Grenada, West Indies

Cat is the definitive host of Taenia taeniaeformis (T. taeniaeformis). Cysticercus fasciolaris (C. fasciolaris), the larval stage of T. taeniaeformis, develops in small rodents which act as intermediate host. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of C. fasciolaris in brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) in the densely human populated parishes, St. George's and St. David's of Grenada, W...

Scanning Electron Microscopy and Histological Morphology of Cysticercus fasciolaris, which induced Fibrosarcomas in Laboratory Rats

Cysticercus fasciolaris is the larval stage of Taenia taeniaeformis and it is a feline tapeworm. The objectives of this study were to determine the C. fasciolaris morphology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy (LM) and its effects on the laboratory rats’ liver. Methods: A total of 21 liver specimens of male Sprague-Dawley laboratory rats were collected and tissue speci...
