Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Maxcy-Rosenau-Last Public Health & Preventive Medicine, 16e AB - Taeniasis refers to an intestinal infection with the adult stage of the beef tapeworm (Taenia saginata), the pork tapeworm (T. solium), or the Asian pork tapeworm (T. asiatica). Cysticercosis is the somatic infection with the larval stage of the pork tapeworm. Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is central nervous system infection with T. solium larvae. Both beef and pork tapeworms have been known as parasites of humans since ancient times, but infection of humans by the larval stage of the pork tapeworm was not recognized until the sixteenth century.1 SN - PB - McGraw Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1182666348 ER -
