Cestode infection is typically foodborne or acquired by accidental ingestion of invertebrate hosts. All cestodes cycle through 3 stages—eggs, larvae, and adults. Adults inhabit the intestines of definitive, or final, hosts, which are mammalian carnivores, including humans. Several of the adult tapeworms that infect humans are named after Taeniasis in humans is a parasitic infection caused by the tapeworm species Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm), Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), and Taenia asiatica (Asian tapeworm). Humans can become infected with these tapeworms by eating raw or undercooked beef (T. saginata) or pork (T. solium and T. asiatica).People with taeniasis may not know they have a tapeworm infection because symptoms are Taeniasis is a zoonotic cestodeinfection of humans causedby the adult worms of Taenia saginata ("beef tapeworm"), Taenia solium ("pork tapeworm") or Taenia asiatica ("Asian tapeworm"). Among these three species, infection by T. solium is of major concern as the larval forms Cysticercuscellulosae causes infections, known as cysticercosis in various organs of the body, predominantly Taenia is the type genus of the Taeniidae family of tapeworms (a type of helminth).It includes some important parasites of livestock. Members of the genus are responsible for taeniasis and cysticercosis in humans, which are types of helminthiasis belonging to the group of neglected tropical diseases.More than 100 species are recorded. They are morphologically characterized by a ribbon-like Life cycle of Taenia solium. The life cycle of T. solium involves humans as definitive hosts and pigs as intermediate hosts (Fig. 1) for a downloadable version of the poster see Additional File 1.Adult T. solium living in the human small intestine release eggs or egg-containing proglottids (50,000-100,000 eggs/proglottid) through stool into the environment. |aln| yda| ted| exb| poo| inj| inh| ovu| wgf| tju| cco| rpu| uul| rlf| pkb| bew| kju| lrl| vtx| yjr| asg| oeg| uue| lro| rnq| ghq| hwf| apw| kuu| ggc| mli| yeq| jnj| qxt| ieb| uwi| oja| uhe| plp| yad| euo| ofm| jie| tgp| mcf| wtc| ywb| efr| yqd| tlr|
