Pathologic section of a human brain with multiple cysticerci obtained during the 1970’s before imaging diagnosis and cestocidal treatment were available, in which case probably the patient could have survived |

Note those cysticerci in the tongue!!! |

Taenia solium cysticerci are able to evaginate in the human eye and also in the brain, seemingly where there is no host tissue surrounding them |
|

Multiple subcutaneous cysticerci were detected in a Mexican patient with clinical symptoms of neurocysticercosis. A biopsy was performed to excise one cysticercus for pathological studies |
|
|
The tongue of a pig with multiple cysticerci shows some of them complete, but others were cut by the knife, therefore the scolices look like white dots but vesicular fluids disappeared |

Pork brain with several fluid filled vesicular cysticerci |

Whole Taenia solium eggs seen by light and scanning electron microscopy. Two hooks are marked by arrows in a broken egg |
