Abstract in Portuguese
Sete suínos com 2 meses de idade foram infectados experimentalmente com cerca de 200.000 ovos de T. solium administrados por via oral. Ao término do experimento (140 dias) os animais não apresentaram aspectos clínicos de cisticercose pelo exame de inspeção da língua; portanto eles poderiam ser classificados como animais saudáveis pelos exames usuais de inspeção utilizados em matadouros. Todos os animais foram sacrificados e a musculatura, cérebro e órgãos viscerais foram seccionados em finos pedaços para a procura de cistos. O número de cisticercos encontrados em cada animal variou de 1 a 85 (média 33,7 e desvio padrão 31,3), caracterizando-os como animais com infecção branda. Amostras de sangue dos animais infectados experimentalmente foram submetidas a imunoensaios para a pesquisa de anticorpos (ELISA Indireto, utilizando como antígeno o líquido vesicular de Taenia crassiceps; imunoblot 18/14, oriundo de antígeno de Taenia crassiceps purificado com anticorpos monoclonais e imunoblot LLGP, utilizando glicoproteínas de T. solium purificadas com lentil lectina) e para pesquisa de antígeno (ELISA Sanduíche e ELISA Direto, ambos utilizando o anticorpo monoclonal anti-ES-Tcra). O teste ELISA Direto não apresentou reatividade em qualquer amostra de soro dos diferentes animais infectados no momento do abate (t140). Foi encontrada positividade de 71% e 57%, respectivamente, para os testes ELISA Indireto para a pesquisa de anticorpos e ELISA Sanduíche para a pesquisa de antígenos nestes tempos. Pelo imunoblot (IB) 18/14 e IB LLGP, respectivamente 5 (71 %) e 6 (86%) dos animais infectados experimentalmente foram positivos no t140. O uso de ensaios imunoenzimáticos para a detecção de anticorpos específicos (IB) somados ao ELISA Sanduíche para pesquisa de antígeno permitiu que todos os animais com infecção branda fossem detectados. Dessa forma, o uso de ensaios imunoenzimáticos para detecção de anticorpos e/ou antígenos mostrou-se mais útil que o exame clínico e/ou post-mortem para a triagem de cisticercose suína em animais com infecção branda.

Abstract in English
Seven 2-month-old swine were orally experimentally infected with approximately 200,000 eggs of Taenia solium. At the end of the experiment (140 days) the animals did not show clinical aspects of cysticercosis or parasites in tongue inspection; therefore they could be mistaken as healthy animals by usual inspection exams used in slaughterhouses. All of them were slaughtered and their whole muscles, brain and visceral organs were cut into thin slices searching for cysts. The number of cysts found in each animal varies from 1 to 85 (mean value 33.7 and standard deviation 31.3) characterizing them as slightly infected animals. Blood samples of experimentally infected animals were submitted to immunoassays for antibody detection (Indirect ELISA, using vesicular fluid antigen from Taenia crassiceps; immunoblot 18/14, from T.crassiceps antigen purified by monoclonal antibodies and immunoblot LLGP, using lentil lectin purified glycoproteins of T. solium) and for antigen detection (Sandwich ELISA and Direct ELISA, both using monoclonal antibodies anti-ES-Tcra). The Direct ELISA assay did not show any reactivity with all serum samples from the different animals at the slaughtered moment (t140). The positivity was 71% and 57% by the Indirect ELISA for searching antibodies and by the Sandwich ELISA for searching antigens, respectively. By immunoblot (IB) 18/14 and IB LLGP 5 (71 %) and 6 (86%) experimentally infected animals were positive at t140, respectively. The use of immunoassays for detecting specific antibodies (IB) together with Sandwich ELISA for antigen detection allow the detection of all slightly infected animals. Thus, the use of immunoassays for antibodies and/or antigen detection showed they are more useful than usual clinical examination and/or tongue palpation for screening cysticercosis in slightly infected pigs.
