Two types of Cysticercus are found in mamin : C. cellulosae, the most frequent, and C. racemosus. Antigenic differences have been observed between them being a possible cause ot false negative serology when using C. cellulosae only. A purified antigen of C. cellulosae must also be tested against sera of other parasitic diseases to eliminate cross reactions as well as against host antigens sometimes incorporated by the parasite and which may be also a source of error.
Résumé
Deux espèces de Cysticercus ont été observées chez l’homme à Mexico : C. cellulosae, le plus fréquent, et C. racemosus. Ils présentent entre eux certaines différences antigéniques, peut-être responsables de fausses réactions sérologiques. Un antigène puritié de C. cellulosae doit être testé sur des sérums de porteurs d’autres helminthiases, pour éliminer les réactions croisées, et débarrassé des antigènes de l’hôte éventuellement incorporés par le parasite.
