Cerebral coenurosis is a fatal parasitic neurological disease affecting the brain and spinal cord of goats sheep. Despite large population sheep in Africa, there very little awareness about scale or effects disease. A systematic review was conducted to bridge gap current understanding epidemiology Taenia multiceps Africa. detailed literature search EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, Research4life (AGOR...

Cerebral parasitic cysts constitute a major problem for livestock. Among these, coenurosis and toxoplasmosis are predominant. Here, a total number of 60 sheep obtained from a private farm in Suez province, Egypt, were examined postmortem to detect visible parasitic cysts, and microscopically to detect small-sized entities. Necropsy revealed bladder-like cysts measuring 0.5-6.5 cm in diameter th...

The aims of this study were to diagnose coenurosis by means of computerized tomography (CT) scan imaging and molecular characterization of the CO1 gene using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Sheep and calves were necropsied, and CT scans on the cephalic region were performed on the animals. Sections of brain tissue infected with parasites were then stained with hematoxylin and eosin for mic...

Coenurosis due to Taenia multiceps has emerged as a major concern small ruminant-owning communities in northern Tanzania. Although high incidence of disease been reported, gaps still remain our knowledge the problem across different agro-ecological settings. The study aimed determine prevalence coenurosis ruminants and taeniid infection dogs identify risk factors for infection. Questionnaire su...

A single, fatal case of disseminated subarachnoid coenurosis in an infant is presented to illustrate the computed tomographic (CT) findings. The larval stage of Multiceps multiceps (dog tapeworm) is always confined to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways where the cysts may be imaged with CT. Previous reports of this rare human infestation do not include high-resolution CT [1-5]. Standard CT ...
