Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Background: , is a parasitic disease of considerable importance in veterinary medicine. Aims: and can support the migration and/or development of its larval stage following oral inoculation with eggs obtained from adult worms derived from cerebral- and muscular-origin coenuri. Methods: genes, followed by sequencing of the amplified products. Results: mitochondrial markers) in affected tissues. No histopathological changes or parasite remnants were detected in the tissues of infected rats and mice. Conclusion: ) may serve as a potential animal model for studying certain aspects of coenurosis pathogenesis. However, further studies are necessary to clarify the role of host-specific factors, immune status, parasite strains, and infection methods in establishing experimental coenurosis.
