Auctore Iohanne Leonhardi Fischero. "Die Arbeiten von Paul Christian Friedrich Werner (1751-1785) waren durch die beigefügten guten Zeichnungen besonders wertvoll. Er beseitigte nicht wenige Irrtümer in der Morphologie der Taenien, insbesondere im Bau der Geschlechtsorgane, u.a. sah er erstmal dien Cirrus (1782,1786). Als erster erkannte er das Vorkommen des Cysticerus cellulose beim Menschen, was Johannes Fischer (1760-1833), Prosektor am Anatomischen Institut Leipzig 1789 bestätigen konnte. Hierdurch wurde das Interesse der Ärzteschaft am Finnenbefall des Menschen geweckt. Werner gebrauchte zum ersten Mal die Bezeichnung "Finna", womit er ursprünglich nur diese Finne meinte. Creplin (1839) nannte sie "Finnenwurm". Für den Coenurus kam damals der Name "Quese" und für den Echinococcus "Hülsenwurm" auf. Werner nahm an, daß sich der Mensch mit Würmern durch orale Aufnahme von Wurmblut infiziert und stellte sich damit auf den Standpunkt von Pallas. Er beschrieb u.a. den häufigsten Hundespülwurm Toxocara canis unter den Genussnamen "Lumbricus" (1782). Nach seinem plötzlichen frühen Tode veröffentlichte der oben genannte Prosektor Leonard Fischer die dritte Fortsetzung von Werners wertvollen Ergebnissen über Darmwürmer des Menschen (1788)." Karl Enigk, Geschichte der Helminthologie (1986), p.33 "In 1784, and apparently ignorant of these earlier reports, Goeze re-examined the cysts found in in pork, recognized that they were helminthic in nature, and described clearly their morphology. In addition, he pointed out the similarities between the head of the worm with the cyst and that of an adult Taenia found in the intestinal tract of humans. He included these wormy cysts among his "Taenia viscerales hydatigenae". Nevertheless, Goeze still belived in the zoological independence of those parasites from tapeworms. In 1786 , Werner rediscovered these cysticerci in humans. While dissecting the body of a soldier who had been in good health but who had drowned accidentally, he found two small cysts, each of which contained a worm, under the pectoralis major muscle. These he named "Finna" since they resembled measly pork which was called "finnen" in Germany." Toxocara canis - "This ascarid parasite of dogs was described by Werner in 1782 as Ascaris canis." David I. Grove, A History of Human Helminthology (1990), pp.363, 744.…
