Short report: transient antibody response in Taenia solium infection in field conditions-a major contributor to high seroprevalence.

ABSTRACT: The discordance between extremely high seroprevalence of Taenia solium antibodies in disease-endemic populations, relatively few symptomatic cases of neurocysticercosis, and high background levels of putatively inactive brain lesions (mainly calcifications) in seronegative controls have co...
