Introduction | Taenia hydatigena (thin-necked bladderworm, causative agent of cysticercosis) is one of the adult forms of the canine and feline tapeworm. This infection has a worldwide geographic distribution. Humans with taeniasis can infect other humans or animal intermediate hosts by eggs and gravid proglottids passed in the feces. Many of the major symptoms are the result of inflammation during larval degeneration or a mass effect from the parasite. Neurocysticercosis is a serious form of cysticercosis. Common symptoms include chronic headaches and seizures. Other symptoms include: nausea, vomiting, vertigo, ataxia, confusion or other changes in mental health, behavioral abnormalities, progressive dementia, and focal neurologic signs. |
