Gid circling disease (Meningitis, and Encephalitis)in goat by Dr Murtaza khalil | ANIMALS KNOWLEDGE

GID (COENUROSIS) IN GOATS Introduction Gid (Coenurosis) is a disease of the central nervous system in Goats, caused by Coenuruscerebralis, the larval stage of Taenia multiceps, a tapeworm, (1) Coenurosis, also known as Gid or staggers, is a localized, space occupying fatal disease of the central nervous system caused by invasion of Coenuruscerebralis, the larval stage of the canine tapeworm Taenia multicepsor Multicepsmulticeps. The adult worm lives in the small intestine of dogs, and others canids (Soulsby, 1986). (5) On the other hand, coenuriosis (gid, staggers, sturdy), a disease which is caused by metacestode (Coenuruscerebralis), i.e. the encysted larval stage of the cestode Taenia multiceps, may lead to a fatal course (Verster and Tustin, 1982). (4) Other names The disease is also known as Sturdy, Staggers, Goggle turn, Turning sickness, Giggy dents, Water brain, Brendo (Innes and Saunders, 1957). (2) Host The disease is known as gid or sturdy which primarily localizes in the central nervous system of sheep and goats mostly, but can also seen in camels, deer, pigs, horses, however, rarely in cattle and humans (Yoshino and Momotani, 1988). (1) Site of infection Most of the cysts are located in the cerebral hemispheres and spinal cord, while rarely invading the subcutaneous and intramuscular tissues along with other organs (Sharma and Chauhan, 2006). (1) t The bladder worm occurs in the brain and spinal cord, intermuscular and subcutaneous connective tissues, liver, lungs and other organs of goats (Clapham, 1942; Soulsby, 1965). (3) Cysts are present in left and right cerebral hemispheres, spinal cord, median fissure, subcutaneous and intramuscular connective tissue, lungs, and liver in goats Cause of Infection Coenuruscerebralis, the larval stage of the canine tapeworm Taenia multicepsor Multicepsmulticeps. (5) History a history of anorexia, rapid breathing and head pressing against the inanimate objects. The animal was fair in body condition. On clinical examination, the animal showed circling and incoordinated movements (Figure 1). Palpation of the occipital bone just behind right horn revealed softening (Figure 2). (5) Owner complaint animal is off feed, head pressing against the inanimate objects, stargazing sometime animal move in circle and show incoordination in walking and rapid breathing. (5) Clinical Signs Major clinical signs included dullness, circling, torticollis, loss of appetite, frequent bleating, pain response on pressure over the cystic area and sometimes unilateral partial blindness. Lateral recumbency was observed in a few cases. (3) Circling either to left or right side was observed bythe owner for a few days to weeks. Dullness, depression,lowered head, deviation of the head to one side,often loud bleating and reduced appetite to completeanorexia were also major abnormalities noticed by theowners. The rope usually applied to the neck of theanimal in order to limit the grazing area, became shorteneddue to the circling problem of the goat. Turningthe head to one side and falling during circling or progressionwere also noticed by the owners. . (3) Rectal temperature was taken which was 1030fahrenheit. Pulse rate was taken by palpating femoral artery which was 80/min. Respiratory rate was recorded which was 25/min. Care was taken not to excite the animal before or during counting of the respiratory rate. A thorough clinical examinations were conducted and the information regarding age, sex, breed and health status were recorded. Based on all these clinical signs, it was diagnosed as a case of Coenurosis or gid disease and decided to perform a surgery. (5) These sign comprise ataxia, stumbling paralysis, frequent muscle fasciculation, anorexia, dullness, grinding of the teeth, and blindness in severe condition, incordination and irratic movement (7) Diagnosis Cysts were detected through palpation and careful inspection of the skin. . (3) Radiological diagnosis . (3) Dignosis depends on clinical signs, history, cyst detected by palpation, radiograph, ultrasound (3) Fate of animals The affected animal leads to death unless the cyst is surgically removed from the brain. The objectives of this study were to handle and manage gid disease through surgical processes to control the disease (2) Cerebral coenuriasis is usually fatal unless surgical relief is provided. . (3) after complete examination of animal. digonsed it was a case of meningitis,so treated exceedingly, after regular treatment 4 to 5 days animal has recovered.......
