Other cestode infections - what does this mean
Other cestode infections occur when a person ingests food or water that has been contaminated with tapeworm eggs or larvae. once inside the body, the larvae migrate to the intestines and mature into adult tapeworms, which can grow up to several meters in length. the adult tapeworms attach to the intestinal wall and feed on the host's nutrients, leading to a range of symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, and weight loss.
