Tenidbzy: dangerous tapeworms that can parasitize the human body

Taenids, or tapeworms, are large tapeworms that can cause serious illness in humans. These worms parasitize the small intestines of humans and can lead to irritation of the intestinal nerve nodes, as well as loss of appetite, nausea, headaches and other unpleasant symptoms.

In humans, there are two forms of taeniasis: taeniarinhoz, the causative agent of which is the bovine tapeworm, and taeniasis, caused by the pig tapeworm. Both types of tapeworms have a long ribbon-like body consisting of individual segments. At the anterior end of the body there is a head equipped with suction cups for attachment to the intestinal wall.

Tapeworms parasitize the human intestine, where they lay eggs, from which they then hatch into larvae. Tapeworm larvae can enter the human body if he eats undercooked or fried meat containing taeniid larvae (finn meat).

The development of larvae into adult worms can take from 3 to 37 months. Adult taeniids live in the human intestine and can cause serious illness. Often the only sign of the disease is the release of helminth segments in the feces.

Pork tapeworm is more dangerous than bovine tapeworm because it can cause a disease known as cysticercosis. Cysticerci parasitize various human organs and tissues, including the brain and eye. Symptoms of the disease depend on the location of parasitism.

To prevent the spread of disease, it is necessary to identify and treat all sick people. This activity should be carried out among people who have regular contact with cattle and pigs. An important preventive measure is the protection of soil and water from contamination by human excrement, as well as proper maintenance of livestock and veterinary control over slaughter.

Personal prevention consists of consuming only branded meat that has undergone veterinary inspection and proper cooking of meat products. Meat is considered neutralized from the larvae of bovine and pork tapeworms if, after boiling, it has a gray (beef) or white (pork) color when cut. It is also important to observe the rules of personal hygiene, wash before eating and after contact with animals. If you suspect a taeniasis infection, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

To treat taeniasis, anthelmintic drugs are used that kill adult helminths and larvae in the human body. Cysticercosis may require surgery.

In general, preventing taeniasis infection is associated with proper storage, preparation and consumption of meat products, as well as protecting the environment from contamination by human and animal excrement.
