		Taeniasis is an infection of the digestive tract by adult tapeworms.
		Taeniasis results from eating raw or undercooked pork or beef contaminated with the larval stage of the pork or beef tapeworm.
		While taeniasis is an infection by the adult beef or pork tapeworms, cysticercosis is an infection by the larval stage of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium.

		Taeniasis is a tapeworm (cestode) infection acquired by the ingestion of raw or undercooked meat of infected animals.
		The area most affected by taeniasis currently is Irian Jaya, Indonesia, the western half of New Guinea Island.
		In field surveys conducted in 2000 and 2001, researchers found that 5 (8.6%) of 58 local people and 7 (11%) of 64 local dogs living approximately 1 km from the local capital city, Wamena, in Jayawijaya District, harbored adult tapeworms and cysticerci of T.

		Man acquires adult tapeworms (taeniasis) by eating undercooked or raw infected meat ("measly pork" or beef).
		The cysticercus in the ingested meat is released by the digestive juices and evaginates, and the larva attaches itself to the mucosa of the small bowel and develops into an adult tapeworm in 5-12 weeks (Fig.
		In the tissues, the hooks are shed and the oncospheres develop into larvae (cysticerci), completing the life cycle.

		Thus, the basis for contemporary human taeniasis has deep historical roots, and is not the result of relatively recent domestication of our major food animals including cattle and swine and acquisition of tapeworms circulating in a synanthropic assemblage.
		There continues to be insufficient knowledge of the prevalence of infections for human taeniasis in both developing and industrialized countries and regions.
		Human taeniasis and cysticercosis represent archaic associations and remain significant challenges for socioeconomic development, public health and food safety, and a continuing threat to animal production on global basis.

		Taeniasis is infection of man by the beef tapeworm, Taenia saginata, or the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium.
		Cysticerci are commonly found in cattle or pigs, but they occur also in cats, rats, monkeys, dogs, giraffes, buffalos, lamas, and some antelopes.
		Although of common origin, taeniasis and cysticercosis are clinically and radiologically two quite separate diseases and will be discussed individually.

		Taenia solium taeniasis is less frequently symptomatic than Taenia saginata taeniasis.
		The main symptom is often the passage (passive) of proglottids.
		Microscopic identification of eggs and proglottids in feces is diagnostic for taeniasis, but is not possible during the first 3 months following infection, prior to development of adult tapeworms.

	Tapeworm Infection Unusual in the US
		Taeniasis is the medical term for the intestinal infection caused by adult-stage beef tapeworm (Taenia saginata) or pork tapeworm (Taenia solium).
		To prevent Taeniasis, always cook beef and pork to 160 °F to kill any larvae that may be present.
		Most humans who carry a tapeworm have no symptoms, other than seeing parts or all of the tapeworm passed in their stool.

		While the most accurate way of diagnosis for taeniasis was the combined usage of the CT and direct preparation methods, the CT method was the best method for the diagnosis of enterobiasis.
		The statistically significant differences between the DP and the CT method were determined in the present study in detecting taeniasis in all the three regions.
		It has also been determined that, while the most accurate way of diagnosis for taeniasis was the combined usage of the CT and DP methods, the CT method was the best method for the diagnosis of enterobiasis.

		Transmission dynamics of this parasitic zoonosis are affected by numerous factors, which greatly vary between regions and continents.

		There is a need for more sensitive, more specific and more simple and cheap diagnostic tests for both taeniasis in humans and cysticercosis in humans and pigs.

	Taeniasis/cysticercosis in a Tibetan population in Sichuan Province, China.
		The results of a preliminary survey of taeniasis/cysticercosis in Yajiang County, Ganze Tibetan Prefecture in southwest Sichuan Province, China, indicated a very high prevalence of taeniasis (22.5%), with Taenia saginata as the dominant species.
		There was also a significant occurrence of late-onset epilepsy (8.5% prevalence and 16.4% seropositive for Taenia solium antibodies) attributable in large part to probable neurocysticercosis caused by T. solium.
		In addition, three taeniasis cases were confirmed by DNA genotyping as Taenia asiatica, which is the first report of this tapeworm in Tibetans, the first report for Sichuan Province and only the third report for mainland China.
