All of the following true Expect

T. saginata adults usually have 1,000 to 2,000 proglottids

T. solium adults have an average of_______ proglottids

T. saginata may produce up to 100,000 eggs

T. solium may produce_____ eggs

Oncospheres develop into cysticerci in muscle is

Eggs or gravid proglottids in feces and passed into environment is Diagnostic Stage

humans can be the intermediate host for

if humans ingest T. solium eggs, the cysticerci encyst this condition in humans is known as (cysticercosis)

T saginala adult worms develop only in humans, and cysticerci of T saginata do not develop in humans

The adhesive cellophane tape technique described for pinworm can be used to recover the worms from this area

eggs of T solium and T saginata are morphologically

act directly on the worm

Internal temperatures of 56°C or more for 5 minutes or longer destroy the cysticerci. Salting or freezing for 1 week at -15 ° C or less is also effective
