However, only a limited number of parasites have been evaluated for cross reactivity. Pigs may host other related cestode infections, including <jats:italic>Taenia hydatigena,<\/jats:italic> which have not been formally evaluated for cross-reactions. We investigated a corral in Tumbes, Peru, a region where a cysticercosis elimination demonstration project was completed in 2012. In this corral, 14\/19 (73.7%) 6\u20138-week-old piglets were reactive to GP50 on LLGP EITB, and all had circulating <jats:italic>Taenia<\/jats:italic> sp. antigens. From eight necropsied piglets; four were infected with <jats:italic>T. hydatigena<\/jats:italic> metacestodes whereas none had evidence of <jats:italic>T. solium<\/jats:italic> infection. Two resident dogs were subsequently confirmed to have <jats:italic>T. hydatigena<\/jats:italic> taeniasis. These results suggest GP50 cross-reactivity in <jats:italic>T. hydatigena-<\/jats:italic>infected pigs, although controlled experimental infection is needed to confirm this hypothesis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.17-0378","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,27]],"date-time":"2017-12-27T06:49:07Z","timestamp":1514357347000},"page":"1830-1832","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Porcine Cysticercosis: Possible Cross-Reactivity of Taenia hydatigena to GP50 Antigen in the Enzyme-Linked Immunoelectrotransfer Blot Assay"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"Claudio","family":"Muro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Health Tumbes, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Tumbes, Peru;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luis A.","family":"Gomez-Puerta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert H.","family":"Flecker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, Oregon Health & Science University and Portland State University, Portland, Oregon;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ricardo","family":"Gamboa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Health Tumbes, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Tumbes, Peru;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Percy Vilchez","family":"Barreto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Global Health Tumbes, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Tumbes, Peru;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pierre","family":"Dorny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp, Belgium;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victor C.
