  1. Tissue Cestodes Ecchinococcus granulosus Raed Z. Ahmed, Medical Parasitology Lab.,2012

  2. Ecchinococcus granulosus • Ecchinococcus granulosus also known as hydatid worm. • Disease: Ecchinococcus (serious disease). • Adult lives in intestine of dogs but never in human intestine. • Definitive host: Dogs. • Dead end host: Human. • Intermediate host: sheep, cattle, horse, pigs. • Infective stage: ova by fecal oral route. • Diagnosis: • Tests involve antigen antibody reaction. • X-RAY examination.

  3. Ecchinococcus granulosus stages Raed Z. Ahmed, Medical Parasitology Lab.,2012

  4. Intestinal Cestodes Taenia spp.

  5. Taenia spp. Taenia saginata, which is also known as the "beef tapeworm", though it also infects humans. Taenia solium, which is known as the "pork tapeworm". Like Taenia saginata humans serve as its primary host. Both have mature, immature and gravid segments. Both have scolex provided with four cup- shaped suckers, but T. saginata has an unarmed scolex while T. solium has an armed scolex. Raed Z. Ahmed, Medical Parasitology Lab.,2012

  6. Taenia spp. (Cont….) • In both species the infective stage is the cysticercus. • Cows are the intermediate host of T. saginata while pigs are the intermediate host of T. solium. • Definitive host: Human. • Diagnosis: • By finding gravid proglotid or eggs in stool. • Eggs present in stool less often are proglottids. • Direct fecal smear. • Brine flotation technique. • Taenia saginata and Taenia solium must be differentiated from each other by the following: • Mature segment, gravid proglotid and adult worm.
