    Author: Sciutto E, Fragoso G, Hernández M, Rosas G, Martínez JJ, Fleury A, Cervantes J, Aluja A, Larralde C.
    Journal: J Parasitol; 2013 Aug; 99(4):686-92. PubMed ID: 23445359.
    Abstract:
    Herein we present a review of our research dealing with vaccination against experimental and naturally acquired porcine Taenia solium cysticercosis using Taenia crassiceps-derived antigens. Results strongly support that the different versions of S3Pvac vaccine are indeed effective against porcine T. solium cysticercosis. Immunological results related to vaccination prove that protection is at least partially mediated by specific immunity. The data also support the validity of T. crassiceps murine cysticercosis as an effective tool to identify vaccine candidates against some metacestode infections.
