Abstract

Tapeworm belongs to the class Cestoda of the Platyhelminth phylum. In tapeworms, the Taenia solium, Taenia asiatica, Taenia saginata are tapeworm that can infect human and cause taeniasis or other diseases. This essay concludes the basic information of these three kinds of tapeworms including the appearance, life cycle, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. In each part it summarizes the similarities and differences among them. The appearance introduces the entire body and gravid proglottid. It compares the length and width in these three kinds of tapeworms, their competence of producing last proglottid, the differences in hooks and the differences in gravid proglottid, which shows general figures of these three kinds of tapeworms. The lifecycle introduces their location and the ways of infection by comparing the differences. In the part of symptoms, the Neurocysticercosis is highlighted and introduce most, and the human immune inhibition is added to complement how human body to confront with tapeworms. In the diagnosis part, microscopical examination, PCR and antibody tests are used to identify the tapeworms. The PCR especially shows the differences of nucleotide sequence and predicted amino acids in tapeworms. For treatment, the similarities and differences in the treatment for different tapeworms are the important contents. Pumpkin seeds and areca nut extract are Chinese medicine, and it shows great power to deworm tapeworms. This essay hopes to get a deeper understanding of tapeworm through the above introduction, so as to promote the prevention and control of tapeworms.
