Can a tapeworm live in the human brain?

Brain

The tapeworm (Cestoda) is an endoparasite that undergoes a very complex developmental cycle. Importantly, it changes its hosts in the process (vertebrates are usually the definitive hosts).

In most cases, tapeworms live in the human digestive tract and can reach a length of up to 20 metres. Tapeworm is a very serious disease that requires specialised treatment. Scientific studies show that the brain can also become infected with armed tapeworm larvae (we then speak of anthrax). This disease can develop in the human brain up to 30 unnoticed. It is a dangerous condition that, despite the inclusion of complex treatment (chemotherapeutic agents and surgery to remove the dead whiskers), does not always save the patient.
