| |
| − | ''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.

| − | ==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.
