Cysticercus is a common food-borne zoonotic parasite, the larvae of the tapeworm. Humans can be infested by adult cysticerci and also by their larvae. There are various species of Cysticercus parasiticus in animals, and those transmitted to humans through meat include porcine Cysticercus and bovine Cysticercus, with porcine Cysticercus being more common. According to the parasitic site of cysticerci, cysticercosis is divided into subcutaneous and muscular cysticerci, cerebral cysticerci, ocular cysticerci, cysticerci of other parts and mixed cysticerci, among which cerebral cysticerci cause the most serious damage to human body. At the same time, the animal meat discarded every year due to contamination by cysticercosis also causes huge losses to the rural economy.

Ace Therapeutics specializes in parasitology research and has established a parasite testing technology platform to provide high quality porcine Cysticercus testing services. In order to study in depth the morphology, life history (ecology), pathogenesis, epidemiological patterns and immunogenetic characteristics of porcine Cysticercus.
