The ingestion of undercooked pork infected with cysticerci is the exclusive path to the development of intestinal taenia, which closes the life cycle of the parasite. |

In the flesh of my experimental animal I estimated that there were not less than 12,000 of these degenerated cysticerci. |

The bear, however, is very liable to be infested by genuine cysticerci. |
Pharmacological treatment is now widely accessible and effective even in cases of giant cysticerci or ventricular cysts, which used to be the exclusive domain of neurosurgery. |
