Moniezia expnasa

Diphyllobothrium latum - Broad or fish tapeworm
- One set of genitalia
- genital openings are on the middle line of proglottids

Dipylidium caninum - flea or cucumber tapeworm
- anapolytic: can move in feces and push eggs out

Moniezia expansa
- triangular shape
- 6 hooked oncoshophere is central

Lancet fluke egg
- detected by flotation
- with two eye-like excretory cells of the miracidium inside.
- the egg is hard-shelled

Liver fluke: big lesions
Lancet fluke: smaller lesions

2nd larval form: sporocyst, produces redia
- develops in the body of the snail

Moniezia benedeni
- quadrangular eggs
- 6 hooked oncoshaera is eccentric

Liver: big lesions: T. tenuicollis.
Small lesions: pisiformis / echinococcus

Strobilocercus fasciolaris
- with seperated bladders
- in liver of rodents
only taenia that can infect cats

Egg of rumen fluke
- unembryonated egg. collected from fresh feces
- the eccentric zygote is surrounded by coarse yolk granules

primary biotope for intermediate host snail of liver fluke

Liver fluke adult, hemorrhages

Cysticercus longicollus
- short neck
- predilection site: body cavity of rodents

Lancet fluke adult
- food source: absorbs nutrients from bile
- two larger testicles and the smaller ovary are behind the ventral sucker while yolk glands are lined up on both sides of the worm

Egg of liver fluke
- non-embryonated egg. observed in fresh feces.
- the eccentric zygote is surronded by a finely granulated yolk

Liver fluke with blood inside

Blood fluke, egg

Cercaria of Fasciola hepatica
- develops inside the body of a redia
- after rain the cercaria swarm out of the snail and swim to find a solid surface.
- cercariae attaches to vegetation, shed their tail and encyst as metacercariae (the infective stage)

Egg of anoplocephala

Anoplocephala

Cercaria of blood fluke
