Larva
Taenia solium and Taenia saginata are both types of tapeworms that infect humans, but they have some key differences. Taenia solium, also known as the pork tapeworm, is primarily found in pigs and can be transmitted to humans through the consumption of undercooked pork. This tapeworm can cause cysticercosis, a serious condition where the larvae form cysts in the body tissues, including the brain, leading to neurological symptoms. On the other hand, Taenia saginata, or the beef tapeworm, is found in cattle and can be transmitted to humans through the consumption of undercooked beef. While Taenia saginata can also cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and weight loss, it does not typically lead to cysticercosis like Taenia solium. In summary, the key differences between Taenia solium and Taenia saginata lie in their sources of infection, with Taenia solium being associated with pork and causing cysticercosis, while Taenia saginata is associated with beef and does not typically lead to cysticercosis.
The diagnostic stage of Taenia solium is the identification of eggs in fecal samples through microscopy. Additionally, serological tests can be used to detect antibodies against Taenia solium in the blood to confirm the infection. Imaging techniques like CT or MRI may also be used to visualize cysticerci in tissues.

Taenia solium and Taenia saginata are two types of tapeworms that infect humans. The key difference between them is their intermediate hosts - Taenia solium uses pigs as intermediate hosts, while Taenia saginata uses cattle. This difference impacts their transmission to humans, as consuming undercooked pork or beef containing the larvae can lead to infection. Taenia solium poses a greater health risk to humans compared to Taenia saginata, as it can cause cysticercosis when the larvae migrate to different tissues in the body, including the brain. This can result in serious health complications, such as seizures and neurological disorders. On the other hand, Taenia saginata typically causes milder symptoms in humans, such as abdominal discomfort. Overall, the key differences in intermediate hosts and potential health risks make Taenia solium a more concerning parasite for human health compared to Taenia saginata.
Taenia solium* has up to 1,000 proglottids * has scolex armed with hooks* has gravid proglottids containing 50,000 eggs (each proglottid)Taenia saginata* has from 1,000 to 2,000 proglottids * hasn't a scolex armature* has gravid proglottids containing 100,000 eggs (each proglottid)
Taenia solium is more dangerous than Taenia saginata because in humans, cesticerci as well as adults can develop. An accidental injestion of eggs or proglottids results in liberation of embryos that migrate to any of several organs to form cesticerci. This condition is called cesticercosis.
The genus of tapeworm commonly found in humans is Taenia, with species such as Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm) and Taenia solium (pork tapeworm).

Cestoda, or cestodes, is a class of parasitic flatworm. Examples of cestodes include: Taenia solium, (pork tapeworm), Diphyllobothrium (fish tapeworm), and Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm).
the scientific name for tapeworm is 'Cestoda' .
