Tapeworm cysticercus, SEM
Tapeworm cysticercus. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of the bladder worm or cysticercus stage of the pork tapeworm (Taenia solium), an intestinal parasite. The scolex has the suckers and hooks that will later attach the young pork tapeworm to the gut wall of a human. In its life cycle the pork tapeworm parasite infects humans (its primary host) first and the pig (its secondary host) second. When pork tapeworm eggs from humans enter the pig they form cysts in the muscles, which results in infected pork. If humans eat this, the cysticerci develop into tapeworms in the human intestines.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Tapeworm cysticercus, captured using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The image reveals the head of the bladder worm or cysticercus stage of the pork tapeworm, known as Taenia solium. As an intestinal parasite, this organism possesses a remarkable adaptation to ensure its survival. The SEM allows us to observe the scolex, which features suckers and hooks that will later enable the young pork tapeworm to attach itself firmly to the gut wall of a human host. This photograph provides valuable insight into the life cycle of this parasitic species. Initially infecting humans as their primary host, these tapeworms then move on to pigs as their secondary hosts. When pork tapeworm eggs are ingested by pigs, they form cysts within their muscles, resulting in infected meat. If humans consume this contaminated pork, these cysticerci develop into fully grown tapeworms within their intestines. The magnification used for this print is x65 when printed at 10 centimeters high. Steve Gschmeissner's expertise in scientific photography has beautifully captured both the bizarre nature and biological intricacies present in this image. This extraordinary visual representation serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also contributes significantly to our understanding of animal biology and highlights how parasites adapt for survival.
