Cenur

Cenur is a large larva that is an intermediate host for many species of cestodes (flatworms). It is a large bubble that is filled with liquid and has many heads screwed inside. This larva is an important link in the life cycle of cestodes, since it plays the role of a carrier and can infect other animals.

Tsenur has much in common with other cestode larvae. For example, it also has a head, body and tail, but unlike other larval forms, the coenur does not have suckers or hooks on the tail. Instead, it has many small, screwed-in heads that serve to capture food.

When the cestode reaches maturity, its larvae develop into adults and leave their intermediate host. They can infect various animals, including humans, and cause various diseases, such as taeniasis, diphyllobothriasis, etc.

However, tsenur is not the only intermediate host of cestodes. Some types of cestodes can also infect other animals such as fish, birds and mammals. In general, the coenur is an important larva in the life cycle of many cestode species and plays an important role in the spread of these diseases.



From Latin the translation is wine bubble, a bubble made from wine skins. Tsenur got its name from the Greek sound of the Latin name.

Tsenur is the larva of a parasitic worm (cestode) species. Size 3-15 mm, shape resembles a large bubble. The heads are numerous, located inside or around the bladder, tightly pressed against one another, for which the receptor is often called capitate worms. The color, like most parasitic worms, is yellowish or brown. A distinctive feature is the absence of a ventral sucker and suckers on the heads. Short spines present on the cuticle (shell)
