Parasites: A Treatise on the Entozoa of Man and Animals: Including Some Account of the Ectozoa
Cobbold, T. Spencer (Thomas Spencer)
Helminths; Parasites
by Delore (1864) and Giacomini (1874). In M. Delore’s case, about 2000
were obtained post mortem. Of these, 111 occurred in connection with
the nervous centres, eighty-four being in the cerebrum, twenty-two in
the membranes of the brain, four in the cerebellum, and one within the
substance of the medulla oblongata. Dr Knox published a less notable
instance in the ‘Lancet’ (1838); and in the year 1857, Dr Hodges,
of Boston, U.S., published a case where the cysts, which in size he
compared to rice grains and coffee beans, were felt subcutaneously. The
coexistence of Tænia and Cysticerci in the same individual has also
recently been observed in France (‘Lond. Med. Rec.,’ 1875). Besides
these, several remarkable instances have lately been reported by Davy,
Tartivel, and others.
To the literature already quoted in connection with the beef tapeworm
the following may be added:
