Cestode larvae excite host neuronal circuits via glutamatergic signaling

2019-11-28

Abstract excerpt

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is caused by infection of the brain by larvae of the parasitic cestode Taenia solium . It is the most prevalent parasitic infection of the central nervous system and one of the leading causes of adult-acquired epilepsy worldwide. However, little is known about how cestode larvae affect neurons directly. To address this, we used whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology and calcium imaging...
