  • Title: Diagnosis of Porcine Cysticercosis at Necropsy: When Is Enough, Enough?
    Author: Lightowlers MW.
    Journal: Trends Parasitol; 2020 Jul; 36(7):575-578. PubMed ID: 32376114.
    Abstract:
    Changes in the incidence of porcine cysticercosis is used commonly in the assessment of efforts to control the transmission of Taenia solium, the cause of human neurocysticercosis. Although cysticerci may occasionally occur in tissues other than the striated muscles, particularly the brain, infection in pigs can be diagnosed reliably by assessment of muscle tissue alone.
