Dog Parasites - Tapeworms or Cestoda - Dog Health Issues Dog Health Tapeworms Dog related information, articles and descriptive, educational videos

Tapeworms are common and in the dog are usually Dipylidium caninum, which is spread by ingesting fleas and lice. Its members live in the digestive tract of vertebrates as adults, and often in the bodies of various animals as juveniles.

Diagnosis: While the scolex (or head) is often the most distinctive part of an adult tapeworm, it is often unnoticed in a clinical setting as it is inside the patient. Thus, identifying eggs and proglottids in feces is important.

Tapeworms also known as Cestoda (Cestoidea).

T. saginata, the beef tapeworm, can grow up to 12 m (40 ft); other species may grow to over 30 m (100 ft)
