(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 is the process by which a transcript (mRNA) of the gene is created. Transcription factors can recruit the rest of the mRNA creating machinery to the target gene. The number and types of other factors varies with species, cell type, and even what the target gene is.
