The adult tapeworms _Taeniae saginata_ and _soleum_, of which the
_Cysticerci bovis_ and _cellulosa_ are the larvae forms, occur in man. The
larvae are present in meat and pork, and this form of parasitism is termed
beef measles in cattle and pork measles in hogs. Man becomes host for these
two forms of tapeworms through eating measly pork or beef that is not
properly cooked.
