Question

Bladder worm/cysticercus is the larval stage of
(a) Tapeworm
(b) Roundworm
(c) Pinworm
(d) Liver Fluke

Answer 1

Hint: These organisms have small vesicles which are sac-like in structure and have resemblance with a bladder and hence the name is given as bladder worm. Sheep get affected often by this heat and cysts are formed inside the body of the sheep.

Complete answer:
Taenia refers to sac-like, small structured vesicles that resemble the shape of a bladder and hence the tapeworms which also have similar appendages, and hence they are given this scientific name. They normally developed their eggs which are often seen to be ingested by the host on which they grow and feed on. The hosts generally are the cattle animals on farm animals like pigs, sheep, goats, etc. The eggs of the bladder worm enter into the host body and infect the host's tissue and this infection of the tissue is termed as cysticercosis. After infection of the tissue that and to settle down in the muscles of the host. The animals are often used as a form of food for the humans and then enters the human body whenever any human eats any undercooked or RAW meat of any of the cattle animals like the beef and pork which are infected with the larva of the tapeworm.

Additional Information:
- The vesicle which resembles the small sac-like structure present inside the bladder worms are filled with fluid.
- The larva of the bladder worms when are eaten by humans man may cause infection to the muscles or even inside the brain
- If any bladder worm insects the brain of any human being that can lead to serious medical issues and this condition is termed as neurocysticercosis.
- Neurocysticercosis may also lead to acquired epilepsy
- The worms generally affect the humans which are the terminal host although the intermediate host like the cattle animals like the pigs are the ship remain unaffected.
- The larva of the bladder worm is in the shape of the bladder and also as a transparent vesicle
So, the correct option is, “Tapeworm”.

Note:
- The body of the larva of the bladder worm mainly consists of two parts: the vascular wall and the Undertaker left head of the worm which will eventually form the scolex.
- Inside the body of the larva of the bladder worm the vesicular wall has three layers which are distinct and complex.
