<prompt> Taenia saginata beef tapeworm causes less serious infection than taenia solium pork tapeworm, because -Acute intestinal blockage is less common in beef tapeworm infectionUnlike T. saginata, T. solium produces neurocysticercosis, which results in serious lesions in humans because of toxic byproducts formedLarval invasion does not occur in beef tapeworm infection.The adult beef tapeworms are smaller  <response>: Both beef tapeworm Taenia saginata and pork tapeworm T. solium can, in the adult form, cause disturbances of intestinal function. Intestinal disorder is due to not only direct irritation but also to the action of metabolic toxic wastes. In addition, T. saginata, because of its large size, may produce acute intestinal blockage. Unlike T. saginata, T. solium produces neurocysticercosis, which results in serious lesions in humans because of toxic byproducts formed in T. saginata, the cysticercus--encysted larvae stage-- develops only in cattle.
