- ... that neurocysticercosis has been referred to as the "great imitator" because it can mimic many other neurological disorders? Source: Garcia et al. 2014: " In endemic areas, neurocysticercosis is regarded as the great imitator because it can mimic almost any neurological disorder."
- ALT1: ... that Küchenmeister showed that the consumption of cysticercus from pork caused human intestinal taeniasis by feeding a prisoner food that had cysticerci gathered from a recently killed pig? Source: Del Brutto et al. 2015: "Küchenmeister demonstrated that ingestion of cysticercus from pork resulted in human intestinal taeniasis, by feeding a convicted man, condemned to death, with sausages and a noodle soup both containing cysticerci obtained from a recently slaughtered pig."

- Quote supplied, matches hook, new enough (5x expanded), long enough, well written and looks good. Interesting. The lead image of this article will haunt me forever. Seems good to go. Alt1 is fine but less interesting, and also hard to follow + kind of tangential to this article. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:12, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment completely unrelated to DYK eligibility, but is "e0008208" a page number? If it's for a figure it should use the loc= parameter. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:15, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- @PARAKANYAA: Thanks for the review! I agree that Alt1 is kind of odd and tangential so the first hook may be better. e0008208 is in fact a page number and not a figure. Some medical journals have really weird page numbers. IntentionallyDense (talk) 20:18, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- TIL. Thanks! PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:22, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
