1. What is cysticercosis? How is it treated??


- Cysticercosis is a parasitic tissue infection caused by larval cysts of the tapeworm
taenia solium. People infected with this disease are usually treated with anti-parasitic
drugs in combination with anti-inflammatory drugs, sometimes other variants such as
neurocysticercosis needs to be altered in treatment a little bit but is also generally
treated and can be permanently cured with anti-parasitic drugs.

2. What is hydatid cyst disease? What complications can occur?


- Is a disease caused by the intermediate stage of the dog tapeworm Echinococcus
granuloses. Some complications that can occur with this disease are infection, rupture
to the biliary tree; rupture to the peritoneal cavity; rupture to the pleural cavity.
