Taenia Saginata is a type of tapeworm that causes taeniasis in humans and cysticercosis in cattle. Unlike Taenia Solium this worm does not cause cysticercosis in human beings, hence, is relatively benign. Let's review its properties, lifecycle, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and management.
