==Hosts==
'''Intermediate host''': sheep, and goats.
'''Definitive host''': dogs and foxes.
==Identification==
''T. ovis'' is a large tapeworm, usually around 1m in length. It has numerous hooks.
==Life Cycle==
The intermediate host ingests cysticercus, which hatch in the intestine and later infect the skeletal muscle and the heart. The definitive host becomes infected by ingestion of the intermediate host.
The prepatent period for ''T. ovis'' is 6-9 months.
