[Localization of Cysticercus ovis in experimentally infected lambs]. 1987

I Kamenov, and D Georgieva

An experimental infection was induced in lambs with 1000, 4000, 7000, and 30000 T. ovis eggs. It was found for the first time that Cysticercus ovis could be established not only in the already known regions of the body, but also in the skin and the subcutaneous connective tissue. The lesions were followed up in the skin on the 10th, 20th, 30th, and 45th day following infection. Later on the cysticerci localized in the skin caused its total piercing. The skin portions above the cysticerci, localized in the subcutaneous tissue, proved unsuitable to treatment and handling and remained defective. Hides that were obtained from animals infected with Cysticercus ovis were shown to be discarded in the leather and fur industries.

D003238	Connective Tissue	Tissue that supports and binds other tissues. It consists of CONNECTIVE TISSUE CELLS embedded in a large amount of EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX.	Connective Tissues,Tissue, Connective,Tissues, Connective
D003551	Cysticercosis	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.
