taeniasis
Taeniasis is a parasitic disease due to infection with tapeworms belonging to the genus ''Taenia''. The two most important human pathogens in the genus are ''Taenia solium'' (the pork tapeworm) and ''Taenia saginata'' (the beef tapeworm). The third species ''Taenia asiatica'' is found only in East Asia. Taeniasis is generally asymptomatic, but severe infection causes weight loss, dizziness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headaches, nausea, constipation, chronic indigestion, and loss of appetite.
A type of taeniasis called cysticercosis is caused by accidental infection with the eggs of ''T. solium'' from contaminated food and water. It is known as the most pathogenic form caused by tapeworms. A specific form of cysticercosis called neurocysticercosis is said to be the most common infection of the central nervous system.
== Signs and symptoms ==
Taeniasis is generally asymptomatic and is diagnosed when a portion of the worm is passed in the stool. It is not fatal, although cysticercosis can cause epilepsy and neurocystocercosis can be fatal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.who.int/taeniasis/about_disease/en/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.who.int/taeniasis/symptoms/en/ )〕
