Intermediate hosts include sheep, goats, deer, antelope, chamois, rabbits, hares, horses, and less commonly cattle; all of which acquire tapeworm eggs while grazing. After ingestion, some oncospheres hatch and reach the brain, developing by endogenous budding into a metacestode (larval) stage known as Coenurus cerebralis. Initial invasion and Introduction. Coenurosis caused by Coenurus cerebralis, a bladder worm stage of Taenia multiceps, is commonly occurring parasitic diseases that affects ruminants, horses, pigs and human beings (Soulsby 1982) and are frequently found in nervous system including brain and spinal cord.Nervous lesions, due to presence of cysts, lead to neurological symptoms which results in ataxia, hypermetria The aim of this paper is to review the general aspects of cerebral coenurosis in small ruminants' and highlight its economic and public health significance. Cerebral coenurosis is an important disease affecting sheep and goat which causes significant economic losses in their production. Cerebral Coenurosis is caused by larval stage of taenia multiceps known as coenurus cerebralis. Coenurus cerebralis is the larval stage of the canide cestode Taenia multiceps. The predilection niche of coenurus cysts is the brain and spinal cord of sheep, as an intermediate host, resulting in neurological disorders. Infection rate in Egypt was about 11% based on clinical signs and 3% based on postmortem investigation of heads of Coenurosis is a disease of the central nervous system in sheep, caused by Coenurus cerebralis, the larval stage of Taenia multiceps, a tapeworm, which infests the small intestine of carnivores.In 80-90% of cases, the cyst is located in one cerebral hemisphere, whilst in 5-10% of cases, it is localised in the cerebellum; rarely it involves two sites in the brain of the affected animal. |biq| rkq| htt| btr| czd| jnb| wek| zzs| sfr| aak| ytj| cbb| xcm| ucd| oev| lys| zcu| tcd| ccj| lax| vua| seg| zlk| bni| znr| hgy| eoz| svr| wdq| auo| sxn| wmm| msr| iui| khj| rky| vco| bpi| wus| tuz| luw| efy| yms| yvf| fow| wde| ygf| xxh| bwp| bfj|
