( Ifacacus inuus), brown bear ( Vrsiis arctos), dog (Can la fam'd laris) , cat (Fells catus 
domeslica) , black rat (Hus rattus), sheep (Oris (tries), and roe deer ( Capreolus cciprea). 
Geographic distribution'. — Practically cosmopolitan, following the hog. 
Special medical significance. — This is the most dangerous adult 
tapeworm of man, because of the danger of auto-reinfection leading 
to cvsticercosis (see p. 68); hence treatment should be instituted with- 
out unnecessary delay. 
Prevention. — Eat pork only when it is well cooked or well cured. 
A person with this tapeworm should never defecate in a place to which 
hogs have access. Box privies should never be placed near pigpens.
