A metacestode is the larval stage of a tapeworm, found in an intermediate host. (wikipedia.org)
The insulin receptor ortholog EmIR of the fox-tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis displays significant structural homology to the human insulin receptor (HIR) and has been suggested to be involved in insulin sensing mechanisms of the parasite's metacestode larval stage. (uni-wuerzburg.de)
methylcarbamates derivatives (BZD) were proved to be effective against E. granulosus , and since Cystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by the then, many investigators have used albendazolemetacestode (larval) stage of Echinococcus (ABZ) and mebendazole (MBZ) for the treatment granulosus ( E. granulosus ) is still an important of human hydatidosis (Teggi et al 1993).

Echinococcus4
Monoclonal antibody-based localization of major diagnostic antigens in metacestode tissue, excretory/secretory products, and extracellular vesicles of Echinococcus species. (uzh.ch)
In the present work, the effects of host insulin on Echinococcusmetacestode vesicles and the proposed interaction between EmIR and mammalian insulin have been studied using biochemical and cell-biological approaches. (uni-wuerzburg.de)
These results clearly indicated that Echinococcusmetacestode vesicles are able to sense exogenous host insulin which induces a mitogenic response. (uni-wuerzburg.de)
Background: Echinococcosis or hydatid disease is a zoonotic infection caused by larval (metacestode) stages of cestodes belonging to the genus Echinococcus, family Taeniidae. (rafinhibitors.com)
Cestodes1
these parasites include 37 adult and 43 larval (metacercariae) species of trematodes, 62 monogeneans, 15 adult and 18 larval (metacestode) cestodes, 6 adult and 4 larval (cystacanth) acanthocephalans, and 54 adult and 15 larval nematodes (L3). (allenpress.com)
First Human Case of Metacestode Infection Caused by Versteria sp. (bvsalud.org)
Vesicles1
Upon addition of exogenous insulin to metacestode vesicles, the phosphorylation of EmIR was significantly induced, an effect which was suppressed in the presence of specific inhibitors of insulin receptor-like tyrosine kinases. (uni-wuerzburg.de)
Proteins2
The identification of host proteins in hydatid fluids indicates that the hydatid walls are permeable allowing a high protein exchange rate between the metacestode and the affected tissue. (ac.be)
These, together with antibodies to metacestode proteins may be expected to play an important role in the continuously evolving and variable pathogenesis of NC, as is summarized in the hypothetical model presented. (scientificarchives.com)
Antibodies1
In addition, humoral antibodies do not kill the mature metacestode. (medscape.com)
Stages1
To identify and determine the infection parameters of the metacestode Parvitaenia in different culture stages of Dormitator latifrons and to evaluate the histological damage caused by this parasite. (cabi.org)
Study2
Dcx protein (SMD −0.92% in this study was to metform metacestode lipase-3. (uslanka.net)
The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of metacestode of E. multilocularis in wild rodents in Erzurum, an endemic region for human AE in Turkey. (cambridge.org)
Larval4
A metacestode is the larval stage of a tapeworm, found in an intermediate host. (wikipedia.org)
The slide showed a case of coenurosis which is caused by infection with the metacestode larval stage (coenurus) of Taenia multiceps or T. serialis . (cdc.gov)
The life-cycle, parasitology and immunology of T. solium are complex, involving pigs (the intermediate host, harbouring the larval metacestode stage), humans (the definitive host, harbouring the adult tapeworm, in addition to acting as accidental intermediate hosts) and the environment (the source of infection with eggs/proglottids). (nih.gov)
Infection2
We describe the identification of a previously genetically uncharacterized species within the newly proposed Taeniid (Cestoda) genus Versteria ( 1 ), which caused fatal metacestode infection in a captive juvenile Bornean orangutan ( Pongo pygmaeus ). (cdc.gov)
