2/ Infection: taeniasis
Cause: the pork tapeworm.
How? People ingest embryonated tapeworm eggs via raw/undercooked pork. The eggs hatch, release larvae “cysticerci", and those larvae can spread throughout the body.
The disease is endemic in parts of Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia.

Suggestion: remove beef and pork from vectors. Eating pork/beef will give taeniasis, not cysticercosis.

I can see it both ways. Cysticercosis is def NOT the direct result of eating undercooked pork. There does appear to be a correlation btwn taeniasis and cysticercosis, tho, & knowing that relationship is useful. If u can fecal-oral to someone else why would it be so unlikely to fecal-oral urself?

Okay apparently it's not really a risk factor unless you eat poop that has the worm eggs in it.
Which leads to other questions about RFK the answers of which I do not want.

Proteomic and Phosphoproteomic Analysis of Adult Taenia saginata Revealed the Potential Importance of Cytoskeleton-Related Proteins #JProteomeRes #MassSpec pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Proteomic and Phosphoproteomic Analysis of Adult Taenia saginata Revealed the Potential Importance of Cytoskeleton-Related Proteins
The adult Taenia saginata (T. saginata), a large tapeworm species, exclusively inhabits the human small intestine as its definitive host. Humans are infected by consuming undercooked beef contaminated with cysticerci of T. saginata, leading to taeniasis, a globally distributed zoonotic parasitic disease. The transmission of T. saginata significantly impacts public health and the livestock economy. Understanding its biological characteristics and developing novel control strategies are the focuses of research. In this study, proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses were conducted on the scolex, immature proglottids, mature proglottids, and gravid proglottids of T. saginata adults. A total of 5803 proteins were identified, most of which were localized in the cytoplasm and membranes. Functional annotation analysis revealed significant enrichment in ribosome-related pathways, cell-activity-related pathways, and cytoskeleton protein pathways. The mature and gravid proglottids revealed substantial changes in cytoskeleton-related proteins and glycolysis pathways compared with other segments. Phosphoproteomic analysis also showed significant modifications in both pathways. Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM) validation confirmed that most proteins exhibited consistent quantitative trends with previous omics identification including some cytoskeleton proteins. Overall, our findings not only enhance the understanding of T. saginata biology and pathogenesis but also aid in the development of diagnostic and vaccine candidate molecules.
