Life cycle of Taenia solium The cause of human<unk>  is the egg form of Taenia solium (often abbreviated as T. solium and also called pork tapeworm), which is transmitted through the oral-fecal route. Eggs are accidentally ingested from contaminated water or vegetables. The eggs enter the intestine where they develop into larvae. The larvae enter the bloodstream and invade host tissues, where they further develop into larvae called cysticerci. The cysticercus larva completes development in about 2 months. It is semitransparent, opalescent white, and elongate oval in shape and may reach a length of 0.6 to 1.8 cm.
