WHAT DOES TAENIASIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Taeniasis

Taeniasis is a form of tapeworm infection which is caused by tapeworms of the genus Taenia. The worm remains in the intestine until it reaches a length of about 3 feet. The two most important human pathogens in the genus are Taenia solium and Taenia saginata. Infection is acquired by eating undercooked beef and pork that contain the fluid-filled cysticercuses of either tapeworm species. The adult worms live in the lumen of the intestine where it causes very few symptoms. It absorbs all its nutrients directly from the host's small intestine, which in some cases can leave the patient with depleted strength. The eggs of the worm break off in the form of segments, known as gravid proglottids, from the mature worm and pass out in the faeces of the infected person. If they are consumed by an intermediate host such as a cow or pig, these oncospheres hatch within the duodenum under the presence of gastric juices and penetrate through the intestinal wall into nearby blood vessels, where they then enter the bloodstream. Upon reaching a suitable site these larvae then develop into a cyst, which then becomes a fluid-filled cysticercus.
