Cysticercosis is infection with larvae of Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm, which develop from ingestion of the ova excreted with human faeces. This will penetrate intestinal wall and disseminate to brain and skeletal muscle. Cysticercosis should be differentiated from taeniasis, which is carriage of the adult tapeworm in the intestine.
