Editor's Notes
#8 Life cycle of Taenia solium
The life cycle of Taenia solium is similar to that of T. saginata. The adults (length 2 to 7 m; less than 1,000 proglottids, which are less active than in T. saginata, and each with 50,000 eggs; longevity up to 25 years) develop not only in humans but also some other animal species (monkeys, hamsters). The cysticercus develops not only in striated muscle, but also in the brain, liver, and other tissues of pigs and other animals, including humans. Humans develop taeniasis when they ingest undercooked pork meat containing cysticerci. They develop cysticercosis by ingesting T. solium eggs, either by ingestion of fecally contaminated food, or by autoinfection. In the latter case, a human infected with adult T. solium ingests eggs produced by that tapeworm, either through fecal contamination or, more arguably, from proglottids carried into the stomach by reverse peristalsis.
