Taenia solium / T. saginata (Human tapeworms)

Taenia solium
Taenia saginata


The adult tapeworms are only found in humans. Humans get infected by consuming undercooked pork or beef containing cysticercus larvae. Infection is usually asymptomatic, but when T. solium eggs hatch in the human intestine, those larvae can migrate throughout human body and brain, which can be fatal.
