Cestode Taeniasis
Introduction of Cestode Taeniasis
- Taeniasis in humans is a parasitic infection caused by the tapeworm species Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm), Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), and Taenia asiatica (Asian tapeworm). Humans can become infected with these tapeworms by eating raw or undercooked beef
Mode of transmission cestode taeniasis
- T. solium taeniasis is acquired by humans through the ingestion of the parasite's larval cysts (cysticerci) in undercooked and infected pork.
Method of transmission Cestode Taeniasis:
- Human tapeworm carriers excrete tapeworm eggs in their faeces and contaminate the environment when they defecate in open areas.
- Humans can also become infected with T. solium eggs due to poor hygiene (via the fecal-oral route) or ingesting contaminated food or water.

Life cycle of Cestode Teaniasis
- Definitive Host : Human
- Diagnostic Stage : Eggs
- Infective Stage : Cyst

Hydatid Cyst Disease
Introduction of Hydatid Cyst Disease
- Hydatid disease (also known as hydatidosis or echinococcosis) is a potentially serious, sometimes fatal, condition caused by cysts containing the larval stages of the Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus) tapeworm (Dog Tapeworm)
-
Method of transmission Hydatid Cyst Disease
- The most common mode of transmission to humans is by the accidental consumption of soil, water, or food that has been contaminated by the fecal matter of an infected dog. Echinococcus eggs that have been deposited in soil can stay viable for up to a year.
Host of Hydatid Cyst Disease
- Cystic echinocccosis (CE), also known as hydatid disease, is caused by infection with the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, a ~2–7 millimeter long tapeworm found in dogs (definitive host) and sheep, cattle, goats, and pigs (intermediate hosts).
Mode of transmission Hydatid Cyst Disease
- Hydatid disease is not transmitted from person to person, or by a person eating the meat of an infected animal. The disease is most commonly found in people raising sheep. Young children are particularly at risk of becoming infected with the tapeworm eggs, but symptoms may not appear for many years.

Cestode Cysticercosis
Introduction of Cestode Cysticercosis
- Cysticercosis is an infection of both humans and pigs with the larval stages of the parasitic cestode, Taenia solium. This infection is caused by ingestion of eggs shed in the feces of a human tapeworm carrier .
Method of transmission Cestode Cysticercosis
- A person gets cysticercosis by swallowing eggs found in the feces of a person who has an intestinal tapeworm. People living in the same household with someone who has a tapeworm have a much higher risk of getting cysticercosis than people who don't. People do not get cysticercosis by eating undercooked pork.
Type of Cycsticercosis
- Intraventricular Cysticercosis
- Subarachnoid Cysticercosis

Mode of transmission cestode cysticercosis
- A person gets cysticercosis by swallowing eggs found in the feces of a person who has an intestinal tapeworm
Life cycle of Cestode Cysticerosis
- Infective Stage : Cyst & Egg
- Diagnostic Stage : Eggs
- Definitive Host : Human
