Taenia solium is the pork tapeworm, a parasitic flatworm (helminth) that infects both humans and pigs.
Type of organism: Parasitic cestode (tapeworm)
Hosts:
Definitive host: Humans (adult worm lives in the small intestine)
Intermediate host: Pigs (larval cysts in muscles) — but humans can also become accidental intermediate hosts.
Diseases caused:
- Taeniasis – infection with the adult worm, usually mild, from eating undercooked pork containing larval cysts.
- Cysticercosis – infection with larval cysts in tissues after ingesting eggs, which can lead to neurocysticercosis when the brain is affected, causing seizures and other neurological problems.
Transmission:
Eating undercooked or raw pork containing cysticerci (larvae).
Consuming food or water contaminated with tapeworm eggs from human feces.
Significance: Recognized by the WHO as a major cause of preventable epilepsy worldwide, especially in parts of Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
The correct answer is All three. Here’s how an accelerometer is involved in each action: 1. Detection of Car Crash/Collision An accelerometer detects rapid deceleration or impact forces, which triggers the deployment of airbags almost instantaneously. Function of accelerometer: Required. 2. DetectioRead more
The correct answer is All three.
Here’s how an accelerometer is involved in each action:
1. Detection of Car Crash/Collision
2. Detection of Free Fall of a Laptop
3. Detection of Tilt of a Smartphone
An accelerometer is required in all three actions, as it plays a crucial role in detecting motion, orientation, or force changes in each scenario. Thus, the correct answer is All three.
