| |
| − | Infection of the intermediate host is through ingestion of the tapeworm eggs shed by the dogs. The hatch in the small intestine of the intermediate host, they then continue to develop in the liver and the abdominal cavity.

| − | The definitive host is infected by ingestion of the cysticercus. The prepatent period of ''T. pisinformis'' is around 7 weeks.

| |
| − | The intermediate host is infected via ingestion of the parasite eggs. These eggs hatch in the small intestine. The parasite the migrates to the spinal cord and brain via the blood stream. The definitive host becomes infected when it eats the spinal bord, or brain of the intermediate host.

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==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.
