Taenia saginata which is known as the beef tapeworm is transmitted to humans in the form of infectious larval cysts found in the meat of cattle, which serve as the parasite's usual intermediate host. The Taenia saginata is common in cattle breeding areas of the world. Consumption of cyst infected uncooked or undercooked beef is the usual means of transmission. The secondary hosts of Taenia saginata are cows, buffalos, sheep and goat.
