Cerebral coeneurosis in chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica).

Two cases of cerebral coeneurosis in chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica) from Catalonia (northeastern Spain) are described. This disease, of which few cases have been reported, may, in fact, be relatively frequent. Although the characteristic symptom of the disease in sheep is circling, that symptom was not observed in this study. Chamois may act as a host within the sheep-shepherd-dog cycle, but is probable that red fox (Vulpes vulpes) also acts as a definitive host.

Screening of cesticidal compounds on a tapeworm Hymenolepis nana in vitro.

A simple and convenient in vitro technique is described for the screening of compounds for action against Hymenolepis nana and probably many other intestinal worms. The results obtained from this test are in broad agreement with the findings of clinical experience and of a small series of in vivo tests. Among the substances tested, the most active ones were oil of chenopodium, dichlorophen, extract of cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale), antimony potassium tartrate, and BIQ 20 [eicosamethylenebis(isoquinolinium iodide)].

Computed tomographic findings in ovine coenurosis.

Computed tomographic imaging was conducted in twenty ewes with cerebral coenurosis. CT imaging allowed precise evaluation of the size and location of the cyst, which appeared as a hypoattenuating structure with a mass effect. No meaningful correlation between clinical signs and the location of parasitic cyst was detected.

Massive cystic tetrathyridiosis in a dog.

This report describes a case of massive cystic tetrathyridiosis in a four-year-old female dobermann. The larvae were distributed in both the peritoneal and pleural cavities, as well as in the lumen of the small intestine along with adult Mesocestoides species. These parasites were identified as tetrathyridia. Numerous cysts were dispersed on the peritoneal, pleural and mesenteric surfaces. The same cysts were seen both on subcapsular surfaces and within sections of the spleen, liver, kidneys and lungs. Histopathological examination also revealed characteristics of tetrathyridium of Mesocestoides species.
