Cysticercosis

cysticercosis

[¦sis·tə·sər′kō·səs] (medicine) The infestation in humans by cysticerci of the genus Taenia.

Cysticercosis

a cestodiasis of man and animals.

In man, cysticercosis is caused by infestation with pork tapeworm larvae. The mature helminth is parasitic only in the small intestine, but its larvae, called cysticerci, are found in the muscles and subcutaneous and other tissues of swine and, less commonly, in other animals and in man (seeTAPEWORM INFECTIONS). The cysticerci usually lodge in the eye, brain, and spinal cord, beneath the skin, and in muscles. Accordingly, cysticercosis is manifested by headaches and, sometimes, by convulsions, mental disorders, and eye lesions. Treatment is surgical; that is, the cysticerci are removed. Anthelmintics are prescribed when the cysticerci are in the intestines.

Preventive measures include the regular sanitary inspection of meat, the detection and treatment of infested individuals, the provision of instruction in health education, the consumption only of thoroughly cooked pork, the observance of good personal hygiene, and the sanitary maintenance of cattle.

Cysticercosis in animals is caused by tapeworms of the genera Taenia and Taeniarhynchus of the family Taeniidae. Occurring everywhere, they infest goats, sheep, cattle, horses, swine, dogs, camels, and some rodent species. Mature helminths parasitize the intestines of carnivorous animals (seeTAPEWORM INFESTATION OF ANIMALS). Animals become infested by consuming feed or water contaminated by the eggs of the parasites. The cysticerci develop in the skeletal and masticatory muscles, heart, tongue, brain, and other organs and tissues. Signs of the disease are usually absent. Some cysticercal species kill sheep and rabbits. No treatment has yet been developed.

Preventive measures include the extermination of stray dogs, the worming of work dogs and the provision of heated living quarters, and the veterinary supervision of the slaughter of livestock, the disposal of measly organs, and the burial of carcasses.

cysticercosis

[sis″tĭ-ser-ko´sis] infection with cysticerci. In man, infection with the larval forms (Cysticercus cellulosae) of Taenia solium.

cys·ti·cer·co·sis

(sis'ti-ser-kō'sis), 1. Disease caused by encystment of cysticercus larvae of some tapeworms (for example, Taenia solium or T. saginata) in subcutaneous, muscle, or central nervous system tissue; cysticercosis is typically developed in swine and cattle, producing measly pork and beef. In humans, it results from the hatching of the eggs of T. solium in the intestines or by accidental ingestion of eggs from human feces; encystment in the brain may cause serious nervous damage, and encystment in the eye (usually the rear chamber) may cause ophthalmic damage. 2. Larval infections in animals with other taeniid tapeworm larvae. Synonym(s): cysticercus disease

Parasitology A condition caused by encystment by larvae from taeniid tapeworms–Taenia saginata–cattle tapeworm or T solium–swine tapeworm in the CNS and muscle Clinical Seizures, ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Management Symptomatic–control seizures, CSF diversion, steroids. See Cerebral cysticercosis, Taenia saginatum, Taenia solium.

cysticercosis

Infestation with the larval form of the tapeworm of the genus Taenia acquired by eating tapeworm eggs, usually in contaminated food. When these hatch in the intestine, the larvae burrow through the bowel wall into the bloodstream and are carried all over the body to be deposited in many tissues including the muscles and the brain. These cause weakness and pain, epileptic fits, sometimes mental disorder and paralysis.

Cysticercosis

Parasitic infection caused by the presence of immature tapeworm larvae (cysticerci) that have developed outside the intestinal tract. Infection is caused by accidental consumption of tapeworm eggs.Mentioned in: Tapeworm Diseases
