Automatic taxobox authority Carl Linnaeus Linnaeus , 1758 type species Taenia solium type species authority Linnaeus, 1758 Taenia is a genus of Cestoda tapeworm that includes some important parasites of livestock. Members of the genus are responsible for taeniasis and cysticercosis in humans . There are more than 100 species recorded. They are morphology biology morphologically characterized by a ribbon like body composed of a series of segments called proglottid s hence the name Taenia Greek tainia meaning ribbon, bandage or stripe . The anterior end of the body is the scolex . Not all members of the genus Taenia have an armed scolex hooks and or spines located in the head region , for example, Taenia saginata has an unarmed scolex, while Taenia solium has an armed scolex. ref Roberts, L.S. and Janovy, John Jr. Foundations of Parasitology 7th Edition. McGraw Hill. 2005. ref Proglottids have central ovary , with a vitellarium yolk gland posterior to it. As in all cyclophyllid cestoda cestodes , there is genital pore on the side of the proglottid. Eggs are released when proglottid deteriorates, and so a uterine pore is unnecessary. Selected species Taenia asiatica &ndash Asian Taenia .
