Scope note: Infección por CYSTICERCUS, la forma larvaria de diversos helmintos del género Taenia (generalmente Taenia solium en el ser humano). En los seres humanos atraviesan la pared intestinal e invaden el tejido subcutáneo, cerebro, ojo, músculo, corazón, hígado, pulmón y peritoneo. La afectación encefálica causa la NEUROCISTICERCOSIS.

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.
Annotation: coordinate with NEGLECTED DISEASES if pertinent; NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS is also available.
