NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic disease of the nervous system and is the main cause of acquired epilepsy in developing (developed) countries.
Neurocysticercosis can be acquired via fecal-oral c with carriers of the adult tapeworm Taenia solium. This usually indicates the presence of a tapeworm c in the immediate environment (ie, household) or by accidental ingestion of contaminated food. Neurocysticercosis can be treated with Praziquante caught in the early stages of infection.
Zoonotic tapeworms are tapeworms that live in animals but can be trans to humans. Dipylidium is tapeworm of cats and dogs. People become infected when th accidentally swallow a flea infected with tapeworm larvae; most reported involve children.
