The paper investigates how cestode larvae affect neuronal activity by exciting host neuronal circuits through glutamatergic signaling, leading to seizure-like events in vitro.

The paper investigates the effects of peripheral Taenia crassiceps infection on the central nervous system in mice, finding increased immunoglobulins and blood-brain barrier permeability without proinflammatory cytokine changes.

This study profiles acetylcholinesterase activity in Taenia solium and Taenia crassiceps larvae, showing differences in activity levels and localization, and demonstrates their ability to modulate neuronal responses to acetylcholine.
