Morphological determination of the age of Cysticercus bovis in very young calves with cysticercosis

J Slais et al. Folia Parasitol. 1976.

Abstract

Characteristics and measurements are given for early developmental stages of Cysticercus bovis. The data emerging from our study indicate that the age of a one to two month-old larva from a spontaneous infection can reliably be determined in histological sections. On these grounds we have been able to determine that the cysticercus infection in the two calves (aged 21 and 27 days respectively) had been acquired prenatally.
