(Taenia solium, Taenia saginata, Taenia asiatica) and associated diseases. Life cycles of all taenids are very similar. T. solium is distinguished by its ability to use humans not only as definitive hosts but also as intermediate hosts. Because of this, the species is most important within this group of parasites.Taenia solium, Taenia saginata, Taenia asiatica) and associated diseases. Life cycles of all taenids are very similar.

Transcription produces a single-stranded RNA molecule known as messenger RNA, whose nucleotide sequence is complementary to the DNA from which it was transcribed. The mRNA acts as an intermediate between the DNA gene and its final protein product. The gene's DNA is used as a template to generate a complementary mRNA.
