    This document outlines the life cycle and points of intervention for the parasite Taenia solium, which causes cysticercosis. The life cycle involves humans and pigs, where humans can inadvertently ingest eggs from infected pigs and develop neurocysticercosis, and pigs can become infected by ingesting eggs shed by humans with taeniasis. Key points of intervention include preventing human taeniasis through meat inspection, slaughter control, and cooking meat thoroughly, diagnosing and treating cases of neurocysticercosis and taeniasis, and preventing pig cysticercosis through improved sanitation, husbandry practices, and pig vaccination.
