Which of the following worm infestation is associated with cysticercosis?
The pork tapeworm Taenia solium can cause two distinct forms of infection in humans: adult tapeworms in the intestine or larval forms in the tissues (cysticercosis). Humans are the only definitive hosts for T. solium; pigs are the usual intermediate hosts, although other animals may harbor the larval forms. Neurocysticercosis manifests an average of 5 years after exposure, but may cause symptoms in the first year of life. Ref: White, A.C., Weller P.F. (2012). Chapter 220. Cestode Infections. In D.L.
