Coenurosis is infection by the metacestode larval stage (coenurus) of Taenia multiceps and T. serialis. Coenuri may be found in most tissue types, but those of T. multiceps have a predilection for the central nervous system and eye; those of T. …

Coenurosis, also known as caenurosis, coenuriasis, gid or sturdy, is a parasitic infection that develops in the intermediate hosts of some tapeworm species (Taenia multiceps, [1] T. serialis, [2] T. brauni, or T. glomerata). It is caused by the coenurus, the larval stage of these tapeworms.

In humans, the larvae invade and form a cyst (coenurus) in the central nervous system, subcutaneous tissues, muscles, or eyes. Most cases occur in Africa, but some occur in sheep-raising areas of Europe and North and South America. Symptoms of coenurosis require several years to develop and depend on the organ infected.

Mar 12, 2022 · Taenia multiceps is a taeniid cestode that inhabits the small intestines of both wild and domestic carnivores. The larval stage, Coenurus cerebralis, is typically found in the central nervous system (CNS) of a wide range of livestock and, to a lesser extent, in the extra-cerebral tissues of sheep and goats.

Coenurosis is a parasitic infection that results when humans ingest the eggs of dog tapeworm species Taenia multiceps, T. serialis, T. brauni, or T. glomerata. It is important to distinguish that there is a very significant difference between intestinal human tapeworm infection and …

Coenurosis is a rare parasitic disease of humans caused by Coenurus cerebralis, the larvae of various dog tapeworms, especially Multiceps multiceps (Taenia multiceps), a parasite with a life cycle similar to that of E. granulosus. The disease has …

Aug 29, 2024 · Cerebral coenurosis is a rare cestodal helminthic infection caused by metacestodes of Taenia multiceps or T. serialis. A metacestode is a polycephalic cyst that varies from a few millimetres to centimeters. Multilocular coenuri are more often encountered in brain infections by T. multiceps.

Infection with the tapeworm stage is called taeniasis, while infection with the larvae is known as cysticercosis or coenurosis, depending on the larval structure.

Dec 1, 2024 · Coenurosis is a zoonotic cestode infection. It is a rare disease reported mainly in developing countries. It occurs in the sheep-raising areas of Europe, South Africa, South America, the USA, Canada, Russia, and Asian countries, including India (Varma and Malviya 1989).

COENUROSIS. Human coenurosis is caused by infection with the coenuri (metacestode or larval stage) of Taenia multiceps, T. serialis, T. brauni, and T. glomerata; although only T. multiceps coenuri are believed to be able to infect the CNS.
