On the Structure & Development of the Cysticercus cellulosae, as found in the Muscles of the Pig. By George Rainey, M.R.C.S. Lecturer on Anatomy & Demonstrator of Practical & Microscopical Anatomy at St Thomas’s Hospital. Communicated by R.D. Thomson M.D. F.R.S. <s>Received 27th June 1855.<\s> Received Jany 16. 1857+ Read March 19/57 I am aware that this Parasite has been found in various other animals besides the Pig, also that it occasionally infests the Human subject, but as I have not had the opportunity of examining it in the latter, & as my opportunities of investigating its structure & development in the former have been very abundant, I shall confine my observations to this Entozoon as it occurs in the Pig. The Cysticercus in its developed state is found chiefly in the ordinary muscles lodged in the cellular intervals between the fibres, also in the surface of the muscles immediately beneath their fascial invest ment. They infest the heart in as great abundance as other muscles composed of striped fibres, where they are situated, some in the substance of the walls of the auricles & ventricles, others directly be neath the pericardium between it & the + The observations described in this Paper were originally communicated to the Royal Society on the of 1855 See “Proceedings of the Royal Society” for 1855
