W.; García Lescano, Héctor Hugo (American Society for Microbiology, 2012)
    Taenia solium causes taeniasis and cysticercosis, a zoonotic complex associated with a significant burden of epilepsy in most countries. Reliable diagnosis and efficacious treatment of taeniasis are needed for disease ...
  • Development and Laboratory Evaluation of a Simple, Field-Applicable Coproantigen Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Diagnosis of Taeniasis in Northern Peru. 
    Castillo Berrios, Yesenia; Wardle, Melissa T.; Gamboa Morán, Ricardo; Elizalde Pizarro, Mayra Yajayra; Vilchez Barreto, Percy Mcquen; Rodriguez, Silvia; Gilman, Robert H.; Gonzalez, Armando E.; O'Neal, Seth E.; García Lescano, Héctor Hugo (American Society for Microbiology, 2023)
    Coproantigen detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (coAg ELISA) is a vital tool for detecting and treating cases of Taenia solium taeniasis. However, the assay's procedures require costly materials and sophisticated ...
  • Evaluating Urban Taeniasis as a Threat to Cysticercosis Elimination in Northern Peru 
    Fernandez, Lauralee; Gamboa Morán, Ricardo; Vilchez Barreto, Percy Mcquen; Pray, Ian; Beam, Michelle; Garvey, Brian; Spencer, Angela; Atto, Ruth; Muro Ecca, Claudio Alberto; Moyano, Luz Maria; García Lescano, Héctor Hugo; O'Neal, Seth E.; Cysticercosis Working Group in Peru (American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2019)
    Reintroduction of Taenia solium into a region in Peru where it had been eliminated prompted evaluation of the possibility of reintroduction from an urban reservoir of taeniasis. In a cross-sectional study of an adjacent ...
  • Evaluation of cross-reactivity to Taenia hydatigena and Echinococcus granulosus in the enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot assay for the diagnosis of porcine cysticercosis 
    Gomez-Puerta, Lucho; Vargas-Calla, Ana; Castillo Berrios, Yesenia; Lopez-Urbina, Maria Teresa; Dorny, Pierre; García Lescano, Héctor Hugo; Gonzalez Zariquiey, Armando Emiliano; O'Neal, Seth E. (BioMed Central, 2019)
    BACKGROUND: Taenia solium is an important zoonotic parasite that infects humans as definitive host (taeniasis) and pigs as intermediate host (cysticercosis). Serological diagnosis of porcine cysticercosis is limited to ...
  • Mapping the residual incidence of taeniasis and cysticercosis in Colombia, 2009-2013, using geographical information systems: Implications for public health and travel medicine 
    Rodríguez-Morales, Alfonso J.; Yepes-Echeverri, María Camila; Acevedo-Mendoza, Wilmer F.; Marín-Rincón, Hamilton A.; Culquichicón, Carlos; Parra-Valencia, Esteban; Cardona-Ospina, Jaime A.; Flisser, Ana (Elsevier, 2018)
    BACKGROUND: In Colombia, taeniasis and cysticercosis have been significantly reduced over the past decades, however still reported with implications for public health and travel medicine. METHODS: An observational, ...
  • Molecular characterization of the Taenia solium Tso31 antigen and homologous of other Taenia species from Peru 
    Vargas-Calla, Ana; Gomez-Puerta, Luis A.; Lopez, Maria T.; García Lescano, Héctor Hugo; Gonzalez Zariquiey, Armando Emiliano; Cysticercosis Working Group in Peru (Springer Verlag, 2019)
    Several studies have been performed to determine specific antigens for the diagnosis of tapeworms. One of these antigens is Tso31, which is used to differentiate Taenia solium and Taenia saginata in human feces. The aim ...
  • Neurocysticercosis in immigrant populations 
    García Lescano, Héctor Hugo (Oxford University Press, 2012)
    Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm, is endemic in most developing countries. The adult tapeworm only lives in the small intestine of humans, who get infected eating poorly cooked pork with cystic larvae. Tapeworm carriers ...
  • Prevention and control of Taenia solium taeniasis/cysticercosis in Peru 
    Gilman, Robert Hugh; Gonzalez Zariquiey, Armando Emiliano; Llanos Zavalaga, Luis Fernando; Tsang, V.C.W.; García Lescano, Héctor Hugo (Taylor and Francis, 2012)
    Taenia solium is endemic in most of the world, causing seizures and other neurological symptoms. Transmission is mainly maintained in rural areas by a human to pig cycle. Despite claims on its eradicability, sustainable ...
  • Recombinant protein- and synthetic peptide-based immunoblot test for diagnosis of neurocysticercosis
