  • Title: Ocular and orbital cysticercosis in hogs.
    Author: Cárdenas-Ramírez L, Celis-Salgado P, Hernández-Jauregui P.
    Journal: Vet Pathol; 1984 Mar; 21(2):164-7. PubMed ID: 6730201.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of cysticercosis in hog muscles was correlated with oculo-orbital prevalence, and histologic characteristics of changes in the parasite and hog were observed. The orbital contents, globe, and eyelids of 39 hogs affected with Cysticercus cellulosae were examined. Thirty-seven parasites were found: 35 within the orbit and two intraocular. Twenty parasites with adjacent host tissue were studied histologically. Inflammatory infiltrates ranging from diffuse lymphoplasmacytic to dense granulomas were seen in 16 cysticerci. The scolex was unaltered in all specimens.
