Background: Neurocysticercosis is the most common helminthic parasitic infection that affects the central nervous system. Histopathological studies in humans and animal models have allowed us to describe some characteristics of the inflammatory response. However, there are currently no studies that describe the type of cellular infiltrate in the initial stage and during the development of the infection. Objective: The aim of this work was to evaluate the pattern of cellular infiltrates, fibrosis and activation of glial cells (microglia/macrophages and astrocytes) in the brains of rats obtained at different times post-infection. Methods: Holtzman rats 10-14 days old were infected intracranially with activated Taenia solium oncosphere and were sacrificed in different months post-infection, having ten post-infection groups (1m, 1.5m, 2m, 2.5m, 3m, 4m, 6m, 8m, 10m y 12m). With H&E staining and the inflammation score, the type of cellular infiltrate was analyzed, the picrosirius red stain was used to analyze the type of collagen present in fibrosis, and finally the inflammatory response of microglia/macrophages and astrocytes by means of immunohistochemistry. Results: It was found that the type of cellular infiltrate and macrophages with and without the presence of fibrosis is variable in the tissue surrounding the cyst. Both the parenchyma (P) and the meningeal (M) cysts showed fibrosis starting two months post- infection (months post-infection, MPI) and as time post-infection progressed, an increase in fibrosis was observed up to 80% around P cysts and 50% around M cyst. In P and M cysts of three MPI the predominant type III collagen was observed and as the post-infection time progresses, type I collagen was observed with greater 4 predominance. On the other hand, in M and ventricular (V) cysts, about 30 to 40% of the tissue around the cyst presented moderate to severe cellular infiltration, unlike P cysts with 5 to 10% around the cyst. On the other hand, the inflammatory response of microglia/macrophages and astrocytes was variable in months post-infection. In the first months there is a defined layer of activated microglia/macrophage cells surrounding the cyst, and immediately afterwards there are activated astrocytic cells. As post-infection time progresses, fibrotic tissue forms and expands around the cyst, co-localizing with microglia/macrophages. Adjacent to this fibrotic tissue, a layer of activated astrocytic cells forms. On the other hand, the morphology of microglia/macrophages in the first MPI was more of the phagocytic/ameboid type and on the contrary from the six MPI onwards they are of the unbranched hypertrophic/dystrophic type. Conclusions: The results indicate that there are differences in the type of inflammatory response and it is dependent on the location of the cyst in the brain. It was observed that in P cysts the presence of fibrosis is greater compared to M cysts. In M and V cysts, moderate to severe cellular infiltrate predominates. Furthermore, there are differences in the morphology and distribution pattern of glial cells in the first months compared to the last MPI. Due to what was mentioned above, all these events would be contributing to the pathology in Neurocysticercosis.
