Coenurosis is infection with the metacestode larval stage (coenurus; plural coenuri) of coenurus-forming Taenia species, including Taenia (=Multiceps) multiceps, T. serialis, T. brauni, and T. glomeratus. Of these, T. multiceps is the most commonly implicated species.

2022年3月12日 · Taenia multiceps (Leske 1780) (larval stage Coenurus cerebralis), often known as sturdy or gid, is a cestode that typically affects the central nervous system (CNS) of livestock, particularly the brain and spinal cord [1].

Coenurosis ( Taenia multiceps , Taenia serialis , or Taenia brauni Infection) - Etiology, pathophysiology, symptoms, signs, diagnosis & prognosis from the Merck Manuals - Medical Professional Version.

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.

Taenia multiceps (coenurosis) T. multiceps occurs in two cycles, one mainly involving dogs and livestock, and the other in various wild canids (e.g., red foxes, Arctic foxes, wolves, hyenas, golden jackals, coyotes and raccoon dogs) and wild herbivores. There are rare reports of T. multiceps in felids such as cougars.

Taenia multiceps is a ubiquitous taeniid cestode that circulates in a 2-host life cycle including various canids as definitive hosts.

2022年3月12日 · This review covers all aspects of the life cycle of T. multiceps and its epidemiology, molecular characterization, pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy, control and zoonotic potential.

Taenia multiceps, an intestinal tapeworm of dogs and people, are the cause of coenurosis often known as gid, sturdy, or stagger (Fig. 4). This parasite can be carried and disseminated to dogs by other animals such as sheep, goats, deer, rabbits, horses, and cattle.

2024年8月9日 · Taenia multiceps coenurosis is endemic in sheep from various regions worldwide. Dogs, the key hosts, shed T. multiceps eggs in their feces contaminating the pasture, and lambs are mostly infected during their first turnout into pastures. The disease is manifested in two forms: acute (due to the migrating oncospheres in the CNS) or chronic (due ...

Analysis of 233 partial cytochrome oxidase subunit I nucleotide sections for <i>T. multiceps</i> revealed high haplotype and low nucleotide diversities. Fifty-one haplotypes were detected circulating in 6 geographic populations.
