PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The tapeworm attaches to the wall of the intestine where it feeds. It produces eggs that pass in the person’s stool. In this case, the cow is called the intermediate host, and the person is the definitive host.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mature tapeworms attach to your intestinal walls and absorb nutrients from the food digesting there. These tapeworms often cause no noticeable symptoms, and many people don’t realize they’re infected. However, a severe infection can cause nutritional deficiencies, unexplained weight loss, nausea or diarrhea.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adult Tapeworms: Adult worms are found in the small intestine; these infections are usually well tolerated or asymptomatic, but may cause abdominal distress, dyspepsia, anorexia (or increased appetite), nausea, localized pain, and diarrhea.
