Taenia solium Infection Cycle

This template shows the six-step infection cycle of Taenia solium, beginning with humans eating raw or undercooked cysticerci-infected meat, followed by parasites maturing in the small intestine and releasing eggs into the environment. It continues through cattle and pigs becoming infected by ingesting contaminated vegetation, with oncospheres migrating through the intestinal wall and muscle to form new cysticerci.
