Abstract
- Evans blue was injected in pigs with Taenia solium cysts in the brain.
- Leakage of dye around some cysts indicated disruption of the blood-brain barrier.
- The dye leaked more in brains of pigs previously treated with praziquantel.
- The model could help to study treatment-induced inflammation in neurocysticercosis.
