PoPova, T. P. and K. Kanchev, 2013. Microflora of internal organs and muscles of lambs and pigs in spontaneous infection with Cysticercus tenuicollis. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 325-330 Microbiological investigations for a carrier of pathogenic microorganisms were performed in internal organs of lambs and pigs spontaneously infected with Cysticercus tenuicollis, the larval form of Taenia hydatig...

Four cases of suggestive inflammatory aneurysms in patients with neurocysticercosis have been described. We report a case of a 49-year-old woman who presented with subarachnoid haemorrhage from a right middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysm and had a casual relationship with neurocysticercosis. At surgery, a viable cysticercus without signs of inflammation or thickened leptomeninges was fo...

Smooth muscle tumors of the uterus are rare in rats. In our colony such tumors have never been found. It is true, however, that only a fraction of the colony has been allowed to reach extreme old age before autopsy. Bullock and Curtis (1) have data on over 2450 rats with cysticercus tumors and 489 rats with independent or primary spontaneous tumors. In the latter group there were 48 uterine tum...

Cysticercosis, caused by cysticercus cellulosae, the larval form of Taenia solium, is potentially a dangerous systemic disease with variable clinical manifestations. The disease most commonly involves subcutaneous and muscle tissues, followed by the eye and brain. Cysticercosis can be diagnosed by various radiologic means or by serology, both of which, however, are not definitive. Biopsy and hi...
