GID (फनफने रोग) in Goat | Coenurus cerebralis | Vet-Sewa

GID (फनफने रोग) is a serious parasitic disease of goats and sheep caused by the larval stage of tapeworm Taenia multiceps, known as Coenurus cerebralis. This disease mainly affects the brain and spinal cord, leading to neurological signs and heavy economic loss to farmers.

Cause

Dog is the definitive host

Goat/sheep act as intermediate host

Infection occurs when goats ingest eggs of Taenia multiceps from dog feces-contaminated feed or water

Clinical Signs

Head pressing

Circling movement (one direction)

Loss of balance

Blindness

Convulsions

Depression and death in severe cases

Pathogenesis

Larvae migrate to the brain

Form fluid-filled cyst (Coenurus cerebralis)

Causes pressure on brain tissue → neurological signs

Diagnosis

Clinical signs and history

Neurological examination

Post-mortem finding of cyst in brain

Treatment

No effective medical treatment in advanced cases

Surgical removal possible in selected cases (expert level)

Supportive therapy may help in early stages

Prevention & Control

Regular deworming of dogs

Do not feed dogs raw offal

Proper disposal of dead animals

Maintain farm hygiene

Control stray dogs around farms
