In vitro nitazoxanide exposure affects energetic metabolism of taenia crassiceps.

In conclusion, NTZ induced a significant metabolic stress in the parasite indicating that it may be used as an alternative therapeutic choice for cysticercosis treatment. The use of metabolic approaches to establish comparisons between anti parasitic drugs mode of actions is proposed. PMID: 31707003 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
