Cysticercosis of the brain in dogs in México City.
In a study of 150 dogs with neurologic disorders, on the prevalence and location of Cysticercus cellulosae, 3 (2%) were parasitized and several C cellulosae were located in subarachnoid spaces, cerebral cortex, white matter, and ventricles of the brain. A chronic inflammatory exudate was found in host tissues surrounding the parasites. Unlike human infected brains, basal granulomatous inflammation or Cysticercus racemosus were not found in the canine brain tissues.
