Solution
The correct option is C Taenia
Human cysticercosis is caused by the larvae of T. solium (Cysticercus cellulosae). Individuals who ingest T. solium eggs develop tissue infection with parasite cysts (cysticercosis), while those who ingest larval cysts acquire 'pork' tapeworm, i.e., the adult form of T. solium. Cysticercosis represents tissue infection with larval cysts of the cestode Taenia solium, in which the patient serves as an intermediate host for the parasite. The eggs liberate oncospheres in the intestine that migrate to tissues throughout the body, including the central nervous system where cysts form.
