TL;DR: An impact of mass chemotherapy against taeniasis to control cysticercosis in the short and long term was demonstrated and late-onset convulsive crisis and specific antibodies are good indicators of neurocysticercotic and of exposure to the parasite, respectively.

TL;DR: The study suggests that the combination of praziquantel and albendazole sulphoxide could potentially improve the current neurocysticercosis treatment.

TL;DR: The results suggest the existence of local lineages in T. solium, with events of genetic recombination within them, as well as a random association of alleles, whereas the other 3 had a clonal structure.

TL;DR: The internalization of host macromolecules to the vesicular fluid of T. crassiceps cysticerci was studied in vitro as mentioned in this paper, showing that the internalization was inhibited at low temperature, being optimal at 37 degrees C and saturation was accomplished only at a protein concentration in the culture medium over 12 mg/ml which is close to the physiological concentration of serum proteins in the host.

TL;DR: Five benzimidazole derivatives (1-5) showed low cytotoxicity against Vero cells, with selective index 38-3000 times higher to the parasite.
