The Organization, Ontogeny, and Orientation of the Cestoda

The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1962
Consideration of the organization, ontogeny, and orientation of tapeworms, and comparison with the structure and development of other invertebrates, support the opinion that the cestode is an individual rather than a colony and that the transformation of the oncosphere to a procercoid or cysticercoid is a true metamorphosis in which there is a reversal

Quantitative Determination of Inositol in Hymenolepis diminuta (Cestoda)

The Journal of Parasitology, 1982
Myoinositol and scylloinositol have been identified qualitatively and quantitatively by gas-liquid chromatography in Hymenolepis diminuta. No myoinosose-2 was detected. Myoinositol was unevenly distributed throughout the worm. The scolex and neck regions contained more free- and phosphatidyl-bound inositol.

Membrane Transport of Inositol by Hymenolepis diminuta (Cestoda)

The Journal of Parasitology, 1982
The absorption of myoinositol by Hymenolepis diminuta involved diffusion that occurred at all substrate concentrations tested; at low substrate concentrations the mediated component predominated. The mediated process exhibited saturation kinetics with a Vmax and Kt of 0.011 mumoles/g of the ethanol-extracted dry wt/4 min and 0.0067 mM, respectively ...

THE KARYOTYPE OF ECHINOCOCCUS MULTILOCULARIS (CESTODA: TAENIIDAE)

Canadian Journal of Genetics and Cytology, 1981
The chromosomes of Echinococcus multilocularis Leuckart, 1863 have been described, based on components of cells from the adult stage and the larval stage of the cestode. Chromosomal complements of 2n = 18, n = 9 were confirmed. The fundamental number of chromosomal arms was 24.

The Life Cycle In vitro of Hymenolepis microstoma (Cestoda)

The Journal of Parasitology, 1975
The cestode Hymenolepis microstoma was grown axenically from oncosphere to infective cysticercoid. Reducing agents were not essential for development and produced structural abnormalities in the organisms. Cysticercoids grown in vitro were excysted, placed in culture, and developed into adults containing gravid segments, thus completing the life cycle ...

Studies on the Nervous System of Tetrathyridia (Cestoda: Mesocestoides)

The Journal of Parasitology, 1967
The Gerebtzoff modification of the Koelle-Friedenwald cholinesterase technique was employed to demonstrate the nervous system of intact tetrathyridia of Mesocestoides corti. The extension of 10 longitudinal trunks from a bipartite brain and associated sucker ganglia to their termination in a plexus about the excretory bladder, the complexities of the ...

The Life Cycle of Archigetes iowensis (Cestoda: Caryophyllaeidae)

The Journal of Parasitology, 1964
The life cycle of the caryophyllaeid cestode Archigetes iowensis was studied in naturally and experimentally infected hosts. Adults are seasonal parasites of the fish, Cyprinus carpio, while larvae occur in the seminal vesicles of the oligochaete, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri.

Other Cestoda of Public Health Relevance

2018
Many cestode species are transmitted through the food supply. Cestode human infections occur worldwide but are more prevalent where sanitation, water supply, hygiene, and food handling practices are suboptimal. Food-borne species relevant to humans include Taenia solium, Taenia saginata, Diphyllobothrium spp., Hymenolepis nana, Echinococcus granulosus,
