2) description of the life cycle
-has a direct life cycle, which means it completes all stages of development in one host. The lavae are encapsulated as a small cystic structure within the infected host. Humans typically become infected when they eat improperly cooked pork. The larvae are released due to the stomach pH and migrate to the intestine where they burrow into the intestinal mucosa, mature and reproduce. The larvae can access to the circulation and migrate around the body of the host. Can cause myocarditis or encephalitis.
