If a person eats raw or badly cooked meat infected by Taenia solium or Taenia saginata he or she will develop the disease taeniasis. The ingestion of contaminated raw or badly cooked infected meat means that cysticerci are being ingested. The human then will be affected by taeniases since in his or her gut the cysticerci may develop into an adult tapeworm.
