One of the factors responsible for its symptomatology is the host inflammatory response. Therefore the influence of interleukin 4 (IL-4) on the induction of encephalitis in experimental NCC was evaluated. Methods BALB\/c (WT) and BALB\/c (IL-4-KO) mice were inoculated intracranially with Taenia crassiceps cysticerci and euthanized at 7, 30, 60 and 90 days later, the encephala removed and histopathologically analyzed. Results The absence of IL-4 induced greater parasitism. In the initial phase of the infection, IL-4-KO showed a lower intensity in the inflammatory infiltration of polimorphonuclear cells in the host-parasite interface and intra-parenquimatous edema. The IL-4-KO animals, in the late phase of the infection, showed lower intensity of ventriculomegaly, encephalitis, and meningitis, and greater survival of the parasites in comparison with the WT animals. Conclusion The absence of IL-4 induced lower inflammatory infiltration, ventriculomegaly and perivasculitis in experimental NCC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0004-282x20160194","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,20]],"date-time":"2017-02-20T13:25:58Z","timestamp":1487597158000},"page":"96-102","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Experimental
