| dc.description.abstract | The taeniasis/cysticercosis disease complex is a public health challenge for most of the developing world, and is increasingly recognized in developed countries due to mass immigration, refugee movements, international travelling and overseas business affairs. This parasitic disease is caused by the pork tapeworm Taenia solium which normally inhabits—in its adult form—in the small intestine of man, producing vague intestinal complaints or no symptoms at all; humans become Taenia carriers after being infected by eating undercooked pork containing cysticerci, the larval stage of the parasite. While pigs are the natural hosts for the larval stage of this tapeworm (intermediate host), humans may also become infected with the cystic larvae, thus developing cysticercosis. Recent evidence favors the concept that human cysticercosis is a disease mainly transmitted from person-to-person, i.e., a healthy individual ingesting T. solium eggs directly from a Taenia carrier by the fecal-oral route or through non-hygienic handling of food. As per most zoonosis, taeniasis/cysticercosis is closely linked to poverty and disproportionately affects underserved populations. | en_US |
