Metagenomic next-generation sequencing in the diagnosis of neurocysticercosis: A case report

Figure 2 he diagnosis of Taenia solium by metagenomic next-generation sequencing. A: Mapping of Taenia solium reads on the genome; B: Reads distribution of total DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid sample. A total of 21507137 (21 M) reads were obtained from metagenomic next-generation sequencing, among which 65792 reads were matched with microorganisms; C: Distribution of pathogenic microorganisms reads in the absence of human, others, and unclassified reads; 43134 reads correspond to pathogenic parasite DNA. Among them, 94.38% (40710 reads) map to the Taenia solium genome.
