Taenia multiceps
Taenia serialis
| Taenia serialis | |
|---|---|
| Kingdom | Animalia |
| Phylum | Platyhelminthes |
| Class | Cestoda |
| Order | Cyclophyllidea |
| Family | Taeniidae |
| Genus | Taenia |
| Species | T. serialis' |
| Also known as: | Coenurus serialis |
Hosts
Definitive host:Dog.
Intermediate host: Rabbit.
Identification
T. serialis is around 0.5m, with two prominent rows of hooks.
Life Cycle
The intermediate host is infected through ingestion of the tapeworm egg, which is shed by the dog, which acts as the definitive host. These develop and form cysts in the intermuscular connective tissues of rabbits, often causing a soft subdermal swelling. . The definitive host then becomes infected through ingestion of the metacestode.

Taenia spp of the Cat
Taenia taeniaeformis
| Taenia taeniaformis | |
|---|---|
| Kingdom | Animalia |
| Phylum | Platyhelminthes |
| Class | Cestoda |
| Order | Cyclophyllidea |
| Family | Taeniidae |
| Genus | Taenia |
| Species | T. taeniaformis |
| Also known as: | Hydatigera taeniaeformis
|
Hosts
Definitive host: Cats, and foxes.
Intermediate host: Mice, rats, rabbits, and squirrels.
Identification
The adult is around 70 cm, and has a large scolex.
Life Cycle
The eggs are past in faeces, which are ingested by the intermediate host. The metacestode matures in the intermediate host, before being ingested by the definitive host.
