Answer 2

Neurocysticercosis is a leading cause of seizures and epilepsy in the developing world and is an increasingly important health issue in the United States. Recent results from the Cysticercosis Working Group in Peru provide new evidence supporting the use of antiparasitic agents in highly selected patients with active cysts and seizures.


Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection that results from ingestion of eggs from the adult tapeworm

When cysticercosis involves the central nervous system, it is called neurocysticercosis. Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the brain and a leading cause of epilepsy in the developing world, especially Latin America, India, Africa, and China

Once largely the domain of the developing countries, neurocysticercosis is currently a growing public health problem in the United States

Neurocysticercosis is acquired through consumption of food contaminated with feces

Eggs of the tapeworm are shed in stool and contaminate food through poor hygiene. When these eggs are ingested and exposed to gastric acid in the human stomach, they lose their protective capsule and turn into larval cysts, called oncospheres.

Answer 3

This disease is caused by the larva of the pork tape worm lodging in the brain after the person ingests the ova. When the larva dies, it causes a granulomatous inflammation in the nervous system. I know no treatment of the brain.
