contaminated (uncooked) meats

Explanation:

This is the host of contamination of human with some of the parasitic infections,Uncooked meat of pork and beef are the major sources.

Beef contains Taenia saginata,while pork habours  Taenia solium (pork tapeworm).

When these meat sources are consumed raw,or poorly cooked,the worms enter the human hosts.

Specifically the meat usually harbour the larvae of the these worms,and these metamorphosize in the host intestine by absorbing the digested food from the blood of the host.The severity of the infection depends on the quantity of the worms in the infected meat consumed.

Proper cooking of the meat to ideal temperature  to kill the larvae is the best way of preventing this.

Raw and under cooked meat should be avoided,
