From cyst to tapeworm: Transcriptome of <i>Taenia solium in vitro</i> activation and growth
2025-02-05
Abstract excerpt
The cestode Taenia solium develops as a tapeworm solely in the human intestine, starting from a larva (cyst). Upon maturing, it produces hundreds of thousands of infectious eggs. When ingested by pigs or humans, the eggs develop as cysts that lodge in various tissues, including the brain, leading to neurocysticercosis. Despite advances in understanding cestode biology through genomic and transcriptomic studies, p...
