- Discuss how to prevent infections from two of the most common parasites found in raw fish dishes.
- Explain why ingesting eggs from the pork parasite (Taenia solium) passed in human feces is more dangerous than eating pork containing the parasite.
- Describe two parasitic diseases that can be transmitted to others by asymptomatic carriers.
