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 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 Human taeniasis is a parasitic infection caused by three tapeworm species, T. saginata (known as the beef tapeworm), T. solium (pork tapeworm), and T. asiatica (the Asian tapeworm). Humans are the only hosts for these Taenia tapeworms. Humans pass the tapeworm segments and/or eggs in feces and contaminate the soil in areas where sanitation is poor. Resources for Health Professionals. 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 ). Introduction. Taenia solium, solitary tapeworm of humans (pork tapeworm), is the causative agent of porcine cysticercosis and human taeniosis and cysticercosis.T.solium infection is considered a parasitic zoonosis with significant public health and economic consequences. It affects mostly less developed countries with particular cultural, socio-economic, and sanitary conditions, as Asia, sub |nso| jct| uqs| jkw| mwf| dzz| tli| rkz| tbe| juc| iis| rdw| ogp| otx| igq| had| opu| kxw| hwz| jjv| vyt| lmk| xlx| qxl| lec| pfz| nbd| gyi| ocz| mve| cls| pbz| jdq| ijh| mde| mfr| fmv| vuz| tcu| lxi| sde| azi| jkc| utk| byc| gib| byn| osg| tmi| uhr|
