Neurocysticercosis: detection of<i>Taenia solium</i>DNA in human cerebrospinal fluid using a semi-nested PCR based on HDP2

23 May 2008

Abstract excerpt

Human neurocysticercosis (NC) is caused by Taenia solium larvae lodged in the central nervous system. This disease is usually diagnosed by radiology but the results are not always clear-cut and so immunological assays are often also used. A semi-nested PCR, based on the non-coding HDP2 sequence of T. saginata, has now been developed for detecting DNA from T. solium cysticerci and confirming NC. This PCR, which...
