CDC - Taeniasis - Biology
Taenia solium eggs can also cause cysticercosis. Life Cycle: Taeniasis is the infection of humans with the adult tapeworm of Taenia saginata or Taenia solium. Humans are the only definitive hosts for T. saginata and T. solium. Eggs or gravid proglottids are passed with feces ; the eggs can survive for days to months in the environment
CDC - DPDx - Taeniasis
T. saginata may produce up to 100,000 and T. solium may produce 50,000 eggs per proglottid respectively. Geographic Distribution. Taenia saginata and T. solium are worldwide in distribution. Taenia solium is more prevalent in poorer communities where humans live in close contact with pigs and eat undercooked pork
Taenia solium - Wikipedia
Ingestion of T. solium eggs or egg-containing proglottids which rupture within the host intestines results in the development and subsequent migration of larvae into host tissue to cause cysticercosis. In pigs, there are not normally pathological lesions as they easily develop immunity
Taenia Solium (Pork Tapeworm) Infection and Cysticercosis
T. solium eggs are present in ≤ 50% of stool samples from patients with cysticercosis. Neurocysticercosis is usually diagnosed when CT or MRI is done to evaluate neurologic symptoms. Scans may show solid nodules, cysticerci, calcified cysts, ring-enhancing lesions, or hydrocephalus
CDC - Taeniasis - Disease
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
ADW: : INFORMATION - Animal Diversity Web
Taenia solium egg's have a fragile outer shell that can be shed when the egg exits the host's body, leaving the oncosphere larva exposed to the external environment. The oncosphere larva is 30 um in diameter and is also called the hexacanth larva since it has six hooks
Taenia Solium Diagram, Life cycle, and Egg - Jotscroll
Taenia solium Life cycle The eggs of the pork tapeworm (Taenia solium) are released in the stool Eggs are then ingested when pigs graze on contaminated grasses; the pigs serve as the intermediate hosts by Ingested eggs then develop into embryos known as Oncospheres in the intestine of
Companion Animal Parasite Council | Taenia spp
Taenia species eggs are 25-40 μm in diameter and are brown with a thick, striated shell wall. The developing embryo has 6 hooks. Taenia eggs cannot be distinguished from Echinococcus eggs via microscopic examination alone. Treatment Praziquantel and epsiprantel are approved for the treatment of Taenia spp. infections in dogs and cats
CDC - Taeniasis - Resources for Health Professionals
saginata tapeworms are usually 4-12 m in length, but can grow to be 25 m; the adult tapeworms produce 1,000 to 2,000 proglottids/ worm and may produce up to 100,000 eggs per worm. T. solium (pork) tapeworms are smaller, 2-8 m in length, produce an average of 1,000 proglottids/worm, and may produce 50,000 eggs per worm
CDC - Cysticercosis
Cysticercosis is a parasitic tissue infection caused by larval cysts of the tapeworm Taenia solium. These larval cysts infect brain, muscle, or other tissue, and are a major cause of adult onset seizures in most low-income countries. A person gets cysticercosis by swallowing eggs found in the feces of a person who has an intestinal tapeworm
Soil contamination by Taenia solium egg DNA in rural villages in Kongwa
The presence ofTaenia solium DNA from eggs in soils around the households in four Tanzanian villages in Kongwa district were analysed in relation to seasonal fluctuations and infection risk implications. A total of 192 pooled soil samples from five sampling points per household were examined by droplet digital Polymerase Chain Reaction (ddPCR) from 96 pig-keeping households both during the dry and rainy seasons
Taenia Solium - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm, is the cause of human cysticercosis. After ingestion of eggs in contaminated human feces, oncospheres circulate to form cysts in various tissues, including the brain. CNS infection with cysticercosis remains the most common cause of epileptic seizures worldwide
CDC - Taeniasis - Diagnosis
Stool specimens should be collected on three different days and examined in the lab for Taenia eggs using a microscope. Tapeworm eggs can be detected in the stool 2 to 3 months after the tapeworm infection is established. Tapeworm eggs of T. solium can also infect humans, causing cysticercosis
The survival and dispersal of Taenia eggs in the environment: what are
Under field circumstances, Taenia spp. eggs have been found to survive for up to 1 year. Taenia spp. eggs are commonly found on vegetables (0.9-30%) and in soil and water samples (0-43%), with their presence posing a risk to the consumer
Diagnosis of Taenia solium infections based on "mail order" RNA
mRNA gene expression in Taenia solium eggs. The bars depict the FPKM values (fragments per kilobase of exon per million reads mapped) of mitochondrial (mtRNA, pink) and nuclear (nRNA, green) encoded house-keeping genes in single T. solium eggs. The expression levels of worm mtDNA encoded genes are on average 10-100 fold higher than that of nuclear encoded house-keeping genes
[Solved] How can Taenia solium (tapeworm) lay 35,000 eggs per
The egg is 35 x 45 micrometers, roundish and yellow-brown. It has peripheral radial striations and contains an embryo with 3 hooklets. T. solium is slightly smaller than T. saginata
What is Taenia Solium? - Life Cycle & Cytology |
Taenia solium, where Taenia means 'tape' and solium refers to 'alone', is better known as the pork tapeworm. It is a parasite that is responsible for two distinct infections in people known

preventing and controlling T. solium transmission. In pigs, cysticercosis occurs by ingestion of T. solium eggs from faeces, or environments contaminated with faeces of humans harbouring adult T. solium. For the purposes of the Terrestrial Code, infection with T. solium is defined as an infection of pigs
Experimental porcine cysticercosis using infected beetles with Taenia
An experimental porcine cysticercosis infection was developed using infected beetles ( Ammophorus rubripes) with Taenia solium eggs. Infected beetles had 52 T. solium eggs (range 32 to 128) in the digestive system at day 5 post infection, and the median egg viability was 78%. Pigs challenged with 1, 3 and 6 infected beetles developed viable infections with high numbers of cysts
Diagnosis of Taenia solium infections based on "mail order" RNA
Taeniasis is an infection of the intestine with tapeworms such as Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm), Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), or Taenia asiatica (Asian tapeworm). In the case of pork tapeworm in particular, infected individuals excrete thousands of eggs in their feces, which can cause cysticercosis if ingested by mouth and develop into larvae
