Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by the larval form of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium.
When humans consume pork containing cysticerci, they can attach to the small intestine and develop into an adult tapework. When, however, humans ingest the parasite in the form of larvae, from contaminated food or water, the larvae can invade the central nervous system causing neurologic disorders.<ref name="multiple"> This can ultimately lead to death.
