Cysticercosis, hydatidosis and coenurosis of farmed and wild animals is caused by the larval stages (metacestodes) of cestodes of the family
Taeniidae (tapeworms). Cerebellar cysts may precipitate more acute and severe signs of ataxia or opisthotonus. Eggs contaminate the environment
and waters then it resist for 15 days under dry conditions, or in the high level of humidity it can stay 30 days. The life cycle is indirect with sheep
and goats acting as an intermediate host. Coenuruses results from ingestion of contaminated pasture with eggs. T. hydatigena and T. ovis are
cosmopolitan parasites, though control programs, improved sanitation and other factors have made them uncommon in some regions. Infection .. Read More»
