MeSH Heading: Cysticercosis
Tree Number(s): C01.610.335.190.902.185
Unique ID: D003551
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003551
Annotation: coordinate with NEGLECTED DISEASES if pertinent; NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS is also available.
Scope Note: Infection with CYSTICERCUS, the larval form of the various tapeworms of the genus Taenia (usually T. solium in man). In humans they penetrate the intestinal wall and invade subcutaneous tissue, brain, eye, muscle, heart, liver, lung, and peritoneum. Brain involvement results in NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS.
Entry Term(s): Coenuri Infection; Coenurosis; Coenurus Infection; Coenurus cerebralis Infection; Cysticercus cellulosae Infection; Taenia solium Cysticercosis
