Question

give the habitat and economic importance of taenia solium?

Answer 1

Taenia solium also known as pork tapeworm has several different habitats depending on the stage in its life cycle.
The adult tapeworm lives in the small intestine of a human host. The proglottids are found in the host feces.
The next stage of the tapeworm is the oncosphere, found inside the gut and tissue of the intermediate host i.e pig.

There is no economic importance of Taenia solium as they cause no positive benefits for humans. They can cause taeniasis which is associated with diarrhea, constipation, and weight loss. Secondly they can cause fatal neurocysticercosis which develop in the central nervous system.
