    Multiceps multiceps, commonly known as the gid worm or dog sheep tapeworm, infects dogs and other canines as the final host through ingestion of infected herbivores like sheep. In the intermediate hosts, the infective coenurus stage can cause coenurosis, affecting the brain and eyes and potentially leading to neurological defects or blindness in accidental intermediate hosts like humans. Treatment involves surgery to remove the coenurus cysts from affected organs.
