	Pork tapeworm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taenia solium, also called the pork tapeworm, is a cyclophyllid cestode in the family Taeniidae.
		solium adults is treated with niclosamide, which is one of the most popular drugs for adult tapeworm infections, as well as for fluke infections.
		It is important to note that human cysticercosis is acquired by ingesting T. solium eggs shed in the feces of a human T. solium tapeworm carrier, and thus can occur in populations that neither eat pork nor share environments with pigs.

	Taenia saginata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taenia saginata proglottid stained to show uterine branches.
		Taenia saginata, also known as Taeniarhynchus saginata or the Beef tapeworm, is a parasite of both cattle and humans, but which can only reproduce in humans.
		The eggs look like other eggs from the family Taeniidae, so it is only possible to identify the eggs to the family, not to the species, level.

	Taeniasis - Blue Book: IDEAS - Victorian Government Health Information, Australia
		Taenia solium (pork tapeworm) causes both intestinal infection with the adult tapeworm and somatic infections with the larvae (cysticerci).
		Taenia saginata infections are often asymptomatic apart from the anal passage of tapeworm segments.
		When the eggs of T. solium are ingested by either humans or pigs the embryos escape the shells and penetrate the intestinal wall, with subsequent spread of larvae to various tissues to produce cysticercosis.

		solium is associated with that of infected pork.
		Rather than humans' acquiring Taenia from cattle and pigs, researchers believe man gave tapeworms to these domestic animals, since the association between Taenia and hominids was established before the domestication of these food animals.
		For T. solium, extra care and hygiene (such as frequent hand washing) must be used to keep from ingesting eggs and developing cysticerci in the brain.

	Taenia Solium, The Pork Tapeworm
		Taenia solium is the Human Tapeworm that comes from pork.
		The pig becomes infected from ingesting the eggs and once inside the intestine, the eggs release the oncosphere (first-stage larvae), making them an intermediate host, the oncosphere then separates and invades the intestinal wall migrating to the striated muscles, where it develops into a cyst-like structure, a cysticercus.
		When a human ingests the Taenia solium eggs they can also become infected with cysticerocosis, which can spread to all of the human organs, typically the Central Nervous System (CNS).

		Taenia solium is a form of flat tape worm with off-white color and length varying from one to several meters.
		The human can also become infected with the eggs of Taenia solium, which is very dangerous, since the eggs can then infect tissues as in the pig, resulting in the human cysticercosis.
		Therefore, Taenia solium is able to produce two diseases in the human, the taeniosis and cysticercosis.
