|q1=Fill in the missing words about cestodes:<p>
A cestode (tapeworm) is a chain (???) of progressively maturing reproductive units called ??? anchored at one end to the intestinal wall by a hold-fast organ called the ???.

*Taenia ovis

|q4=In which host(s) would you expect to find the cysticercus of ''T. hydatigena'' and where in the host might it be found?

*Sheep (mostly)'
*Cattle
*Pigs
*Found in the peritoneal cavity
|l4=Taenia#Structure and Function
|q5=What is the difference between a coenurus and a cysticercus?
|a5=
*A coenurus is a fluid filled bladder with multiples (dozens) of inverted scolices attached to the wall
*Whereas the cysticercus has only a single inverted scolex.

|q6=How does the distribution of hydatid cysts differ in sheep, horses and humans?
|a6=
*Sheep = most are in the lungs with smaller numbers in the liver
*Horses = nearly all are in the liver
*Humans = most are in the liver, with some in the lungs and a few elsewhere

|q8=Why is it so difficult to prevent many cats from becoming re-infected with ''T. taeniaeformis''?
|a8=The intermediate hosts are mice and other small mammals that are hunted

|q9=Where in the host (horse) would you expect to find ''Anoplocephala''?
|a9=Ileo-caecal junction
|l9=Anoplocephala#Life-Cycle
|q10=Why are ''Anoplocephala'' eggs rarely seen on routine faecal examination?
|a10=They are dense structures and do not always float in the flotation media used in routine diagnosis
|l10=Anoplocephala#Life-Cycle
|q11=Why is it so difficult to prevent grazing horses from becoming re-infected with ''Anoplocephala''?
|a11=The intermediate hosts are ubiquitous free-living pasture mites
|l11=Anoplocephala#Life-Cycle
|q12=Describe the appearance of ''Moniezia
|a12=
*Long tapeworm (up to 2m)
*Segments much wider than they are long
|l12=Moniezia#Introduction
|q13=Why is ''T. solium'' more dangerous to human health than ''T. saginata''?
|a13=If T. solium eggs get into the human small intestine, they will hatch and cysticerci can establish in the musculature and CNS. This does not happen with T. saginata.
