General CharactersTapeworms
1- All worms have long flat (no body cavity), multi-segmented body.
2- The body is covered with a cuticle that is provided with pores through which the worm uptakes its nutrients (no digestive system).
3- All are hermaphrodites (each segment contains both male and female sexual organs).
4- The adult worm is divided into 3 distinct parts: a- Head or Scolex: usually with 4 muscular suckers and a crownof hooks (rostellum) to attach to theintestinal wall.
b- Neck Region: serves as a generative organ
c- Strobilla: three types of segments (Proglottids). i. Immature: following the neck region
ii. Mature: containing both sex organsand responsible for reproduction iii. Gravid: filled with fertilized eggs
5 -Eggs: contain hexacanth
embryo (oncosphere).
6- All cestodes have an intermediate host except Hymenolepis nana(may have or maynot).
Examples of Class Cestoda1- Taenia sp. Taenia saginata Taenia solium
2- Hymenolepis sp. Hymenolepis diminuta Hymenolepis nana
3- Dipylidium caninum
4- Echinococcus granulosus
General life cycle of Cestodes
1. The adult worm matures in human intestine (final host). 2. Eggs shed in feces are released into environment.3. Eggs are eaten by grazing animals (intermediate host).4. Larval forms encyst in animals’ tissue.5. Humans ingest encysted larvae in meat of infected animal
(except in case of Echinococcus granulosus).
Taenia saginata (Beef Tapeworm)Length: up to 10 m
• Location of adult: small intestine of man• Intermediate host : cattle (beef)• Infective stage : Cysticercus bovis• Mode of transmission: eating
insufficiently cooked meat containing Cysticercus bovis
• Diagnosis: eggs & gravid segments in stool
• Disease: Taeniasis Taenia saginata mature segment: nearly square, bilobed ovary, scattered testis, uterus: median tube (magnifier)
Taenia saginata (Beef Tapeworm)Length: up to 10 m
• Location of adult: small intestine of man• Intermediate host : cattle (beef)• Infective stage : Cysticercus bovis• Mode of transmission: eating

• Disease: Taeniasis
Taenia saginata (Beef Tapeworm)Length: up to 10 m
• Location of adult: small intestine of man• Intermediate host : cattle (beef)• Infective stage : Cysticercus bovis• Mode of transmission: eating
insufficiently cooked meat containing Cysticercus bovis
• Diagnosis: eggs & gravid segments in stool
• Disease: Taeniasis Taenia saginata gravid segment longer than broad branched uterus filled with eggs (magnifier)
Taenia saginata (Beef Tapeworm)Length: up to 10 m
• Location of adult: small intestine of man• Intermediate host : cattle (beef)• Infective stage : Cysticercus bovis• Mode of transmission: eating

• Diagnosis: eggs & gravid segments in stool
• Disease: Taeniasis
Circular with radiating (striated) double wall
(H.P)
Hymenolepis diminuta (Rat Tapeworm)
Length: 20-60 cm• Location of adult: small intestine
of rat occasionally man• Intermediate host: rat flea• Infective stage: cysticercoid• Mode of transmission: ingestion
of rat flea containing cysticercoid • Diagnosis: eggs and gravid
segments in stool• Disease: hymenolepiasis
Mature segments: Broader than long characterized by 3 testis and one ovary in each segment (magnifier)
Hymenolepis diminuta (Rat Tapeworm)
Length: 20-60 cm• Location of adult: small intestine
of rat occasionally man• Intermediate host: rat flea• Infective stage: cysticercoid• Mode of transmission: ingestion
of rat flea containing cysticercoid • Diagnosis: eggs and gravid
segments in stool• Disease: hymenolepiasis
Hymenolepis diminuta (Rat Tapeworm)
Length: 20-60 cm• Location of adult: small intestine
of rat occasionally man• Intermediate host: rat flea• Infective stage: cysticercoid• Mode of transmission: ingestion
of rat flea containing cysticercoid • Diagnosis: eggs and gravid
segments in stool• Disease: hymenolepiasis
Gravid segments: Broader than long, enlarged uterus containing eggs (magnifier)
Hymenolepis nana
(Dwarf Tapeworm)So there are 2 different routes in this life cycle: 1-without intermediate host
2-with flea as intermediate host
• Location of adult: small intestine of man
• Intermediate host: none• Infective stage: eggs• Mode of transmission: eating food
contaminated with eggs or autoinfection
• Diagnosis: eggs in stool• Disease: Hymenolepiasis
Hymenolepis nana (Dwarf Tapeworm)
Length: Very small 15-40 mm
Mature segments: broader than long, characterized by 3 testis and one ovary in each segment (L.P)
• Location of adult: small intestine of man and rodents
• Intermediate host: flea• Infective stage: cysticercoid • Mode of transmission: ingestion of
cysticercoid –containing flea • Diagnosis: eggs in stool• Disease: Hymenolepiasis
Hymenolepis nana (Dwarf Tapeworm)
Length: Very small 15-40 mm

• Location of adult: small intestine of dogs, occasionally man
• Intermediate host: dog flea• Infective stage: cysticercoid• Mode of transmission: ingestion
of dog flea containing cysticercoid• Diagnosis: egg packet in stool• Disease: Dipylidium caninum
