Cysticercosis, an infection caused by the cystic larvae of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium, is one of the most frequent parasitic infections of the human nervous system (neurocysticercosis). It is endemic in most of Latin America, the sub-Saharan Africa, and vast parts of Asia, including the Indian subcontinent. It has also been increasingly diagnosed in developed countries because of migration of people from endemic zones and exposure in travelers. The life cycle involves the development of the adult tapeworm in the human small intestine (after ingesting infected pork with cysts) and larval infection in pig tissues (after ingesting human stools containing the eggs of the tapeworm). Humans get infected by the fecal-oral route, most often from a direct contact with an asymptomatic Taenia carrier. Most common clinical presentations are seizures (particularly late-onset seizures), chronic headaches, and intracranial hypertension. However, cysticerci can locate anywhere in the human nervous system, thus potentially causing almost any neurological syndrome and making clinical diagnosis a difficult task. Neuroimaging is the main diagnostic tool, and specific serology confirms the diagnosis and helps to define the diagnosis when images are unclear. Factors such as location (extraparenchymal versus intraparenchymal), number, size and evolutive stage of the parasites determine the clinical manifestations, therapeutic approach, and prognosis. Management includes symptomatic drugs (analgesics, antiepileptic drugs, anti-inflammatory agents) and in many cases cysticidal drugs, either albendazole or praziquantel. In recent years, efforts have focused on transmission control and potential elimination in endemic regions.

Excerpt from The Gid Parasite and Allied Species, of the Cestode Genus Multiceps: I. Historical Review Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith, and to recommend for pubhcation as a bulletin, the accompanying manuscript entitled "The Gid Parasite and Allied Species of the Cestode Genus Multiceps. Part 1. Historical review," by Maurice C. Hall, of the Zoological Division of this Bureau. Mr. Hall has been making a most comprehensive study of gid, and his investigations will furnish an important contribution to our knowledge of this deadly disease of sheep, which has only in recent years been recognized as established in the United States, the first definite evidence of its presence as an enzootic having been published in 1905 in Bureau of Animal Industry Bulletin 66. It is intended to publish later, as succeeding parts of the present bulletin, the results of Mr. Halls investigations, now in progress, concerning the morphology and life histories of the parasites in question, as well as the symptomatology, treatment, prophylaxis, etc., of gid.
