A CAT scan revealed a single brain lesion consistent with a tumor. Biopsy of the lesion showed a cysticerus. The patient lived in South Carolina and had never traveled outside the state. What parasite caused her disease? How is the disease transmitted? How might it be prevented?

It’s a question for my college-level Introduction to Microbiology Course under the category for "Critical Thinking." Thanks in advance to any responses.
