Wetin na tepwɔm?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, tepwɔm na flat, parasayt wom. I de liv insay animal in intestinal (dat na, in ɔs). Animal dεm lεk wi dכg εn pusi, εn kaw εn pig, kin gεt dεn wom dεm ya, εn wi mכtalman. I kin afɛkt mɔ mami ɛn dadi biznɛs wit pikin dɛn we de it mit.

Lɛk ɔda parasayt dɛn, dis tepwɔm de liv insay di bɔdi fɔ di animal we i de ɔs, ɛn i de sok di tin dɛn we i de gi. Di ed fɔ di wom de stik insay yu intestinal, usay i de it di it we dɛn de digest.

As i sidɔm de, di wom in bɔdi de kɔntinyu fɔ gro ɛn le eg. Dɛn eg ya kin travul dɔŋ di animal we de ɔs di animal in intestin ɛn dɛn kin pas na di fes. Na so dɛn eg ya kin fɛn nyu ɔs.

Aw dɛn tep-wɔm ya tan lɛk?

Dis wom gɛt in nem frɔm di we aw i tan. I flat, i tan lɛk tep. In bɔdi gɛt sɔm pat dɛn. di tep wom gεt tri difrεn pat dεm: di ed (we de atak di hos), di nεk (we de mek nyu pat dεm na di bכdi), εn di sכm pat dεm na di lכw bכdi .

Ɛni wan pan di tepwɔm kin mek in yon eg. insay sכm kayn tεp wכm dεm, dεn pis dεm ya kin brok wit di eg dεm εn dεn kin pas aut tru di כs in intestines insay di fεs.

Yu dɔktɔ kin kɔl dis tepwɔm infɛkshɔn bak ‘taeniasis’. Dis de rifer to wan infεkshכn we di tεp wכm dεm we de na di jεns Taenia de kכz. Di men ɔs dɛm na Taenia solium (bɔd tepwɔm), Taenia saginata (bif tepwɔm), ɛn Taenia asiatica (Eshian tepwɔm - bak bɔd tepwɔm). כda spisis dεm lεk Diphyllobothrium latum (fish tapeworm) εn Hymenolepis nana (dwarf tapeworm - wan sכm sכm spisis), dεn kin infεkt di mכtalman intestinal dεm bak.

Aw yu fil bɔt dis?

di tep wom dεm de divεlכp insay tri stej dεm: eg, larva, εn big pɔsin. Di big wom nɔ kin ebul fɔ liv ausayd wan ɔs.
