Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the effects of Taenia asiatica and Taenia saginata infections on liver apoptosis in domestic pigs.
  • Nineteen pigs were infected with parasite eggs, and their liver tissues were studied at various time intervals post-infection to observe changes and identify apoptosis in liver cells.
  • Results showed that both infections caused significant liver damage and increased apoptosis rates compared to the control group, with T. asiatica resulting in better-developed cysticerci.

Tools from bioinformatics websites such as NCBI, ExPaSy were used for the analysis. The malate dehydrogenase full-length gene from Taenia saginata asiatica was 1 212 bp in length, with a coding region of 30-1 028 bp and coding 332 amino acids. It was a complete and full-length gene compared with the homologues in GenBank.

Objective: To clone and express the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) gene of Taenia saginata asiatica and analyze the immunogenicity of the recombinant protein.

Methods: By screening the full length cDNA plasmid library, the coding region of LDH was amplified with PCR, and cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-30a (+), then expressed in E. coli BL21 with IPTG induction.

Objective: To investigate the morphological characteristics of the adult worms of Taenia saginata from four areas of Western China.

Methods: 42, 41, 7 and 18 integral worms of Taenia saginata were collected from Duyun and Congjiang of Guizhou Province, Wushi of Xinjiang, and Lhasa of Tibet respectively. The length of worms was measured and the segments were counted.
