Ocular coenurosis is a surgical disease because its diagnosis depends almost entirely on demonstration of
metacestode from the lesion.
The present report provides important new information on the prevalence of asexuality among tetrathyridia and underscores the need for further study of this variation among
metacestodes of this cosmopolitan genus.
SDS-PAGE analysis of soluble proteins from various tissue components of Echinococcus
metacestodes.
Metacestodes may also develop in humans, causing various forms of echinococcosis.
Ultrastructure of the scolex and tentacles of the
metacestode of Polypocephalus species (Cestoda: Lecanicephalidae) from the blue-swimmer crab Portunus pelagicus.
Characterization of the carbohydrate components of Taenia solium
metacestode glycoprotein antigens.
Uno de los grandes aportes en el inmunodiagnostico de la cisticercosis es el uso del
metacestode de Taenia crassiceps (Zeder, 1800), como fuente alternativa de antigenos para sustituir efectivamente los del
metacestode de T.
Heavy
metacestode infection in pigs may cause fever, muscle pains, weakness, or, if the CNS is involved, meningencephalitis or epilepsy.
villosum, the
metacestode Nybelinia surmenicola, the digenean metacercaria Otodistomum sp.
The larvae then enter the
metacestode (adult larva) stage, becoming a cysticercus.
In the intermediate host, an egg develops into a cystic larva or
metacestode, usually in the viscera.
In the flea midgut, the eggs hatch and eventually develop into an infectious
metacestode stage.
