Investigating cestode modulation of host neuronal excitability and cell-type-specific gene expression in an in vitro mouse model of neurocysticercosis

Neurocysticercosis (NCC), caused by Taenia solium larvae, is the leading helminthic brain infection in humans, with epilepsy as its most common manifestation. Interestingly, seizures are rare during early stages when viable larvae are thought to suppress host inflammation. Seizures tend to occur whe...
