Symptoms of cestode infections can vary widely depending on the species and the burden of infection. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and weight loss. In severe cases, infections can lead to more serious complications such as intestinal blockage or systemic infections. For example, cysticercosis, caused by the larval form of Taenia solium, can lead to neurological symptoms if the larvae invade the central nervous system.
