Pathogens
The pork tapeworm Taenia solium is a parasite that infests the human intestine.
The intestinal infection with Tenia solium (taeniasis) often shows not symptoms; abdominal pain, sickness, diarrhoea or obstipation may occur.
The larval cysts (cysticerci) of Taenia solium trigger cysticercosis in humans.
Transmission mainly occurs via contaminated food.
For a successful inactivation of parasites, specific disinfectants effective against parasites are required.
