cytochemical characterization of tegument membrane-associated carbohydrates in taenia crassiceps larvae.the tegument of larval taenia crassiceps possesses a surface coat rich in both neutral and acidic carbohydrates. neutral glycans were detected in golgi vesicles of the tegument perikarya, vesicles of the distal tegument, and on the surface of the plasma membrane. autoradiographs indicated the tegument perikarya as major sites of 3h-galactose incorporation into acid-insoluble macromolecules. the labeled material is subsequently translocated to more superficial regions of the tegument, then concen ...19751165550
the growth of the metacestodes of taenia crassiceps in white mice.the effect of the sex of the intermediate host on the growth and development of the metacestodes of taenia crassiceps has been investigated. three different strains of mice were used, the c r s, l a c a and c f l p strains and two strains of metacestode, the toi and the e r s strains. the results show that matacestodes of t. crassiceps grow and multiply more rapidly in female than in male mice, although both sexes are equally susceptible to the infection. the origin of the parasite, i.e., from a ...19751206219
effect of parenterally injected benzimidazole compounds on echinococcus multilocularis and taenia crassiceps metacestodes in laboratory animals.in mice infected with metacestodes of taenia crassiceps, the following compounds were at least partially effective when injected intraperitoneally at the dosage indicated: cambendazole (500 mg/kg), mebendazole (6.25 mg/kg), oxibendazole (500 mg/kg), 5-benzamido-2(4-thiazolyl)benzimidazole (500 mg/kg), 2-carboethoxyamino benzimidazole (125 mg/kg), and 2-carbomethoxyamino benzimidazole (500 mg/kg). the following were inactive at the dosage indicated: parbendazole (500 mg/kg), thiabendazole (1,000 ...19751242396

depression of the immune response to sheep erythrocytes in mice infected with taenia crassiceps larvae.intraperitoneal infection of mice with larvae of the cestode parasite taenia crassiceps results in depression of both primary and secondary antibody responses to sheep erythrocytes in vivo. the depression is not associated with a shift in kinetics of the response. both immunoglobulin m (igm) and igg responses are depressed, but igg is depressed more than igm in the secondary response. secondary in vitro sheep erythrocyte responses are consistently depressed in both spleen and mesenteric lymph no ...1976786885
permeability studies on taeniid metacestodes: ii. antibody-mediated effects on membrane permeability in larvae of taenia taeniaeformis and taenia crassiceps.incubation in immune rat serum (irs) was shown to increase the rate of absorption of 125i rnase-a but not 125i bsa by larvae of taenia taeniaeformis and t. crassiceps. this effect required a heat labile factor in serum, and partial activity could be restored in heat-treated irs by adding normal rat serum (nrs) as a source of complement. in addition, the effectiveness of irs in altering permeability was shown to be dependent on the concentration of functional complement. both live and dead larvae ...1977859087
freeze-fracture study of the tegument of larval taenia crassiceps.the tegument of taenia crassiceps cysticerus is composed of 2 layers, an outer microthrix border and an underlying vesicular syncytium. each microthrix is a long slender structure that has 2 portions, a thick proximal portion and a thinner distal portion. the inner core of each microthrix contains a cylinder of microfilaments enclosing a central bundle of microfilaments. there are numerous particles on both the protoplasmic and extracellular fracture faces of the proximal portion of the microthr ...1977870670

parasites of red foxes in new brunswick and nova scotia.sixty-one red foxes from new brunswick and nova scotia were examined for helminths. alaria americana, a. arisaemoides, a. mustelae, cryptocotyle lingua, echinostoma revolution and metorchis conjunctus, capillaria aerophila, crenosoma vulpis, toxocara canis, uncinaria stenocephala and taenia crassiceps were found. approximately 67% of the foxes examined were clinically affected with sarcoptes scabiei mange.1978691132
environmental temperature and the growth of taenia crassiceps cysticerci in mice.mice kept a low (5 +/- 1 degrees c) and high (35 +/- 1 degrees c) temperature harboured significantly less taenia crassiceps cysticerci than controls kept at 21 +/- 1 degrees c. this effect was more pronounced in heat-stressed than in cold-stressed animals and more in males than in females.1978720507
immunodepression in taenia crassiceps infection: restoration of the in vitro response to sheep erythrocytes by activated peritoneal cells.the in vitro response to sheep erythrocytes of mesenteric lymph node cells from mice infected with the larval cestode taenia crassiceps is significantly depressed and can be restored to control levels by addition of activated peritoneal cells depleted of functional t or b lymphocytes. adherent mesenteric lymph node cells from infected mice are unable to reconstitute the in vitro response to sheep erythrocytes of normal nonadherent cells. the responses of mesenteric lymph node cells from infected ...1978730359

the nature of antigens common to both the metacestodes of taenia crassiceps and its laboratory host.metacestodes of taenia crassiceps were cultured in laboratory rats and mice, washed in glycine/hydrochloric acid (gly/hcl) buffer ph 2.4 and phosphate buffered saline (pbs) ph 7.2 and a soluble extract of the metacestodes (sem) was prepared from larvae washed in both buffers. the sem and the original washings were examined for host igg and a common host antigen (cha). cha was present in both the sem and washings but igg only in the washings and, in metacestodes from mice only in the gly/hcl wash ...19826820025
taenia crassiceps: regional variations in ultrastructure and evidence of endocytosis in the cysticercus' tegument.regional variations in the thickness of the tegument, in the morphology of microtriches and mitochondria, in the distribution of dense bodies, smooth micropinocytotic vesicles (smvs), and coated micropinocytotic vesicles (cmvs) have been shown for the cysticercus of taenia crassiceps. the number of smvs and cmvs present in the syncytial layer are in inverse proportion to each other, the former being more numerous in the bladder wall and upper part of the invagination canal and the latter in the ...19836822284
the specificity of somatic and metabolic taenia taeniaeformis preparations in murine metacestode infections.excretory-secretory and somatic preparations of taenia taeniaeformis contained shared immunologically-active components although immunoelectrophoresis indicated that the major antigen present in the excretory-secretory preparation was only a minor component of the somatic preparation. both antigens gave similar immunoelectrophoretic reactions with sera from mice infected with either t. taeniaeformis or taenia crassiceps, but there was evidence from the results using the elisa technique that the ...19836195803
scanning electron microscopy of the metacestode of taenia crassiceps. 19836618754
the pathology induced in laboratory rats by metacestodes of taenia crassiceps and mesocestoides corti (cestoda).sprague-dawley rats were infected by intraperitoneal injection with either the cysticerci of taenia crassiceps or the tetrathyridia of mesocestoides corti. both species of metacestodes reproduce asexually in the peritoneal cavity. the effect of t. crassiceps upon the rats was to cause chronic inflammation of the peritoneum, fibrous adhesions between the visceral organs and hyperplasia of the gut mesenteries which became extended into a large sac-like structure. dead parasites surrounded by white ...19836646809
[cytomorphological characteristics of the tegument of daughter larvae in the cestode taenia crassiceps].at the early stages of asexual breeding, the daughter larvae of t. crassicaps display destructive changes of the tegument due to its hyperfunction. the reparation of tegumental cytons is followed by the appearance of specific "brushes" of fibrillar material on the karyolemma of their nuclei. they are supposed to occur as a result of protein synthesis necessary for the reconstruction of cellular structures, mainly, of the nucleus. the abundant synthesized fibrillar falls into decay being transfor ...19836670130
taenia crassiceps: ultrastructural observations on the oncosphere and associated structures.electron microscopic observations were made on unhatched eggs of taenia crassiceps in utero. the outermost envelope consists of a thin, relatively smooth capsule over a highly convoluted outer envelope which contains a highly granulated cytoplasm and numerous mitochondria. the inner envelope, consisting of a thick embryophore and the cytoplasmic component of the embryophore cell, resembles that found in most other taeniids. three epithelial layers separate the oncosphere from the embryophore. wh ...19836683735
in vivo cross-reactivity of taenia saginata and taenia crassiceps antigens in bovine cysticercosis.steers sensitized or infected with taenia saginata exhibited similar delayed-type dermal hypersensitivity (dth) responses after intradermal inoculation with t. saginata or t. crassiceps skin test antigens. steers sensitized to t. crassiceps cysticerci exhibited similar dth responses to intradermal inoculation with t. crassiceps, t. saginata whole worm and t. saginata cysticerci antigens. no correlation existed between the dth responses and the number of cysticerci in the carcasses. one sensitize ...19836684352
freeze-etch characterization of the teguments of three metacestodes: echinococcus granulosus, taenia crassiceps, and taenia taeniaeformis.the objective of this study was to characterize the teguments of metacestodes of echinococcus granulosus, taenia crassiceps, and taenia taeniaeformis using the freeze-etch technique. metacestodes of e. granulosus (19 mo old), t. crassiceps (28 days old), and t. taeniaeformis (34 days old) from gerbils, mice and rats, respectively, were fixed for 2 hr in 3% glutaraldehyde and then prepared for freeze-etching and thin sectioning by standard techniques. freeze-etch replicas of the teguments of all ...19836685176
taenia crassiceps: temperature, polycations, polyanions, and cysticercal endocytosis.the effect of various temperatures, poly-l-lysine, and poly-l-glutamic acid on endocytosis of smooth micropinocytotic vesicles (pinosomes) in the tegument of the cysticercus of taenia crassiceps has been investigated stereologically. the temperature regimes used were 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 c. maximum volume, surface density, and number per unit volume were found at 40 c, and minimum surface-to-volume ratio and numbers at 10 c. at 10 c, mean pinosome volume and mean surface area per pinosome we ...19846204882
taenia crassiceps: basic mechanisms of endocytosis in the cysticercus.the effects of glucose, yeast extract, fetal bovine serum albumin, and ruthenium red on endocytosis of smooth micropinocytotic vesicles (pinosomes) in the tegument of the cysticercus of taenia crassiceps have been investigated stereologically. glucose has been shown to stimulate pinocytosis, whether it was used alone or in combination with yeast extract or bovine serum albumin. yeast extract was a stimulant of endocytosis. bovine serum albumin was the most potent stimulant of all the substances ...19846209161

[parasites present in foxes (vulpes vulpes) of the province of forli].in the period march 1983 - march 1984 a parasitological survey was carried out on 103 foxes killed in the forli province (italy). the parasites identified were: toxocara canis (45.6%); uncinaria stenocephala (14.6%); mesocestoides lineatus (9.7%); dipylidium caninum (2.9%); taenia crassiceps (2.9%); trichuris vulpis (2.9%). out of all the cestodes found in 7 animals the authors identified only genus taenia since their preservation conditions were not optimal. other 13 subjects contained many ces ...19853870647
changes in ascorbic acid content in various organs and serum of mice experimentally infected with taenia crassiceps (zeder, 1800) cysticerci.it was demonstrated that helmith infection affects the ascorbic acid content in various tissues of experimental mice. the level of vitamin c in the mouse liver, kidneys, spleen and serum decreases after infection with t. crassiceps. maximum decrease in blood serum was observed on day 7 p.i. at the intensity of infection 15 and 30 cysticerci per mouse. there was a correlation between the intensity of infection and decrease in the ascorbic acid level in the spleen.19854007703
food intake and body weight changes in mice infected with metacestodes of taenia crassiceps.general nutritional effects on female cflp mice harbouring larval taenia crassiceps were investigated using groups of mice fed ad libitum on purified diets containing 2%, 4%, 8% and 16% (w/w) protein respectively. when uninfected and infected mice were compared over an experimental period of 20 weeks, it was established that a significantly higher proportion of uninfected mice survived the course of the experiment than infected mice. there was no evidence of the presence of the parasites having ...19854011315
chalone-like inhibition of dna synthesis in helminths.chalone-like inhibitory activity was found in extracts from tissues of taenia crassiceps cysticercus and tissues of adult ascaris suum. the inhibitory effects were partially species nonspecific: the extracts from t. crassiceps larvae inhibit both t. crassiceps and mesocestoides corti larvae dna synthesis. extracts from a. suum, however, inhibit only t. crassiceps. besides them, the inhibitory factor from mouse brain inhibits both t. crassiceps and m. corti dna synthesis. when the inhibitory fact ...19853159635
[evaluation of the results of intradermal tests in spontaneous cysticercosis in cattle].the diagnostic value of intradermal tests was verified on 126 bulls (out of this number 32 autopsically positive) subject to intravital diagnostics of bovine cysticercosis. as allergen were used homologous antigens from adult larvae of taenia saginata and heterologous antigens from larvae of taenia crassiceps, as well as hydatid fluid from echinococcus granulosis. with the antigen t. saginata the sensitivity reached 53.1% and specificity 90.4%, with the antigen t. crassiceps 53.1% and 80.9% and ...19863083557
[counterimmunoelectrophoresis in the serologic diagnosis of cysticercosis in cattle].over the years 1983 to 1984 two-hundred and sixty-five bulls were examined during mass occurrence of bovine cysticercosis in one farm; out of this number 67 animals (25.3%) were confirmed autopsically as infected with cysticercosis. counterimmunoelectrophoresis was used to examine the serum of slaughtered animals by help of two antigens--taenia saginata and taenia crassiceps. with t. saginata the sensitivity amounted to 44.8% and the specificity to 86.4%, with t. crassiceps to 28.3% and to 89.9% ...19863083565
study of cytochromes from mitochondria of taenia crassiceps (zeder, 1800) cysticerci.cytochrome components of mitochondria from taenia crassiceps cysticerci were studied by difference spectrophotometry (at 22 degrees c). the following concentrations of cytochromes (expressed in nmol x mg-1 protein) were found: 0.132 (cytochrome b), 0.083 (cytochrome c), and 0.0856 (cytochrome aa3). the participation of aerobic processes in the general production of energy is discussed and the results are compared with literary data obtained in cytochrome studies of other parasitic worms.19863721356

anthelmintic activity of triclabendazole.triclabendazole was tested in vitro and in vivo against a range of helminths. although in vitro activity was found against hymenolepis diminuta (0.5 microgram/ml), fasciola hepatica (2.5 micrograms/ml), taenia crassiceps and schistosoma mansoni (50 micrograms/ml), in vivo activity was only found against f. hepatica, a single oral dose of 40 mg/kg killing 99% of adult flukes in the rat. this spectrum of activity suggests a mechanism of action unlike that of other benzimidazole anthelmintics.19863745874
suppression of taenia crassiceps during concurrent infections with mesocestoides corti in mice.parasite burden (by volume) was measured in female mice of three strains given single or concurrent infections of mesocestoides corti and taenia crassiceps. significant suppression of t. crassiceps volume was observed over a range of m. corti inocula and occurred irrespective of whether m. corti was introduced before or after infection with t. crassiceps. suppression of t. crassiceps volume was greatest with larger inocula of m. corti and with increased duration of m. corti infection. no signifi ...19863754325
study of the properties of alkaline phosphatase in taenia crassiceps (zeder, 1800) cysticerci.the properties of alkaline phosphatase present in taenia crassiceps cysticerci were studied. approximately a half of the total activity was free and the remaining part was bound to membranes. kinetic studies did not show any differences between the free and bound alkaline phosphatases. it was found that high substrate concentrations produced an inhibitory effect on the enzyme. this effect was much greater at lower ph. ph optimum changed with the concentration of the substrate.19863758872
contribution to the knowledge of aerobic processes in taenia crassiceps larvae (zeder, 1800).respiration of homogenates and isolated mitochondria of t. crassiceps larvae was measured. respiration (about 70%) could be inhibited by cyanide, indicating that an important part is played by classical respiratory chain. when succinate was used as substrate, relatively low respiratory rates were measured, mitochondria showing higher affinity to nadh. above a half of respiratory rate remained unchanged even at very low oxygen concentrations. fumarate exhibited inhibitory activity on respiration ...19863804084
studies on the properties of malic enzyme and malate dehydrogenase from taenia crassiceps (zeder, 1800) cysticerci.it has been studied what type (or types) of malic enzyme is present in the mitochondria of taenia crassiceps cysticerci. only nadp-dependent malic enzyme (ec 1.1.1.40) was demonstrated. the method of isoelectric focusing was used for the detection of isoenzymes of malic enzyme and malate dehydrogenase in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of t. crassiceps cysticerci. the mitochondria contain 5 isoenzymes of malic enzyme and 5 isoenzymes of malate dehydrogenase. the cytoplasm contains 7 isoenzymes of ...19873428763
dependency of resistance of mice immunized against taenia crassiceps on the dose of soluble antigen.mice immunized with a single dose (1.25-40 micrograms/mouse) of soluble antigen from taenia crassiceps cysticerci developed a 62.9-85.0% resistance. maximum effect was achieved in the groups immunized with 40 micrograms and 20 micrograms of antigen. the dose of 5 micrograms induced the lowest number of successful infections (28.6%), but the mean number of surviving larvae was higher than in the above groups.19873428764
correlation of the results of ifat-dass and elisa tests in experimental cysticercosis of mice.the sera of mice experimentally infected with taenia crassiceps were tested for the occurrence of the antibodies by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and indirect immunofluorescence using defined antigen substrate spheres (ifat-dass). results of both tests were compared. from day 11 p.i. until the end of the experiment (day 108 p.i.) antibodies were detected by both tests. the maximal intensity of the elisa and ifat-dass reactions was observed between days 63 and 94 and days 14 and 4 ...19873556351
malic enzyme, malate dehydrogenase, fumarate reductase and succinate dehydrogenase in the larvae of taenia crassiceps (zeder, 1800).malate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme, succinate dehydrogenase, and fumarate reductase activities have been studied in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of taenia crassiceps larvae. the results show that these larvae contain enzymes for anaerobic acquisition of energy with terminal fumarate reductase, but some facts, as the high ratio of succinate dehydrogenase activity to fumarate reductase activity and the low proportion of fumarate reductase in the whole nadh oxidase activity in mitochondria, sugge ...19873596392
a case report of cysticercosis caused by cysticercus longicollis, a larval form of taenia crassiceps in a woodchuck (marmota monax).cysticercosis was found in one of 18 woodchucks imported from the united states and maintained in our laboratory for study of hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma. the lesions found in subcutaneous area, lungs and maxillary sinus were multiple cysts containing numerous cysticerci identified as cysticercus longicollis, a larval form of taenia crassiceps.19873609159
