Tens of millions of individuals are infected with these worms worldwide. In the United States, taeniasis and cysticercosis are not recognised as national diseases. The most taeniasis cases seem to be caused by T. saginata, which is less dangerous than T. solium because it does not result in cysticercosis. T. solium cysticerci have not been discovered in American commercial pork in recent years. Cattle still occasionally harbour T. saginata cysticerci. Between 1985 and 1994, 1 to 2 of every 10,000 carcasses of cattle that were examined contained T. saginata cysticerci. Travel or immigration from endemic regions, primarily in Latin America, are to blame for the majority of cases of taeniasis in the United States.
