Taenia Serialis

	Taenia Serialis ''Taenia serialis'', also known as a canid tapeworm, is found within canines such as foxes and dogs. Adult ''T. serialis'' are parasites of carnivores, particularly dogs, with herbivorous lagomorph mammals such as rabbits and hares, serving as intermediate hosts.Roberts, L. and G. Schmidt. 2009. Foundations of Parasitology, 8th ed. The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc., New York, New York, p. 351-352. In definitive hosts, ''T. serialis'' is acquired by eating tissues from a variety of intermediate hosts.Spickler, A. R. Taenia Infections. “2005 (May 1, 2005).” At http://www.cfsph.iastate.edu/DiseaseInfo/factsheets.php Accidental infection of humans though, can occur when eggs are ingested from food or water contaminated with dog feces and the human then becomes the ''T. serialis'' intermediate host.Coenurosis Fact Sheet. Parasites and Health. Centers for Disease Control. December 2011. http://dpd.cdc.gov/dpdx/html/Coenurosis.htm Hatching of the ''T. serialis'' usually occurs only ...

	Epsiprantel Epsiprantel (trade name Cestex) is a veterinary drug which is used as an anthelmintic against tapeworms such as ''Echinococcus granulosus''. Indications It is indicated for the removal of cestodes (tapeworms) in cats (''Dipylidium caninum'' and ''Taenia taeniaeformis'') and dogs (''Dipylidium caninum'' and ''Taenia pisiformis ''Taenia pisiformis'', commonly called the rabbit tapeworm, is an endoparasite, endoparasitic tapeworm which causes infection in lagomorphs, rodents, and carnivores.

	Praziquantel Praziquantel (PZQ), sold under the brandname Biltricide among others, is a medication used to treat a number of types of helminthiasis, parasitic worm infections in mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. In humans specifically, it is used to treat schistosomiasis, clonorchiasis, opisthorchiasis, Taeniasis, tapeworm infections, cysticercosis, echinococcosis, paragonimiasis, fasciolopsiasis, and fasciolosis. It should not be used for worm infections of the eye. It is taken Oral administration, by mouth. Side effects in humans may include poor coordination, abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, and allergic reactions. While it may be used during pregnancy, it is not recommended for use during breastfeeding. Praziquantel is in the anthelmintic class of medications. It works partly by affecting the function of the worm's Sucker (zoology), sucker. Praziquantel was approved for medical use in the United States in 1982. It is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, World ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Fenbendazole Fenbendazole is a broad spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic used against gastrointestinal parasites including: giardia, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, the tapeworm genus '' Taenia'' (but not effective against ''Dipylidium caninum'', a common dog tapeworm), pinworms, aelurostrongylus, paragonimiasis, strongyles, and strongyloides that can be administered to sheep, cattle, horses, fish, dogs, cats, rabbits, most reptiles, freshwater shrimp tanks as planaria and hydra treatments, as well as seals. Drug interactions Drug interactions may occur if salicylanilides such as dibromsalan and niclosamide are co-administered. Abortions in cattle and death in sheep have been reported after using these medications together. Abortions in domestic ruminants have been associated with concurrent use of anti-trematode therapeutic agents. Toxicity Fenbendazole is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract in most species. The in laboratory animals exceeds 10 g/kg when administered ...

picture info	Cestoda Cestoda is a class of parasitic worms in the flatworm phylum (Platyhelminthes). Most of the species—and the best-known—are those in the subclass Eucestoda; they are ribbon-like worms as adults, known as tapeworms. Their bodies consist of many similar units known as proglottids—essentially packages of eggs which are regularly shed into the environment to infect other organisms. Species of the other subclass, Cestodaria, are mainly fish infecting parasites. All cestodes are parasitic; many have complex life histories, including a stage in a definitive (main) host in which the adults grow and reproduce, often for years, and one or two intermediate stages in which the larvae develop in other hosts. Typically the adults live in the digestive tracts of vertebrates, while the larvae often live in the bodies of other animals, either vertebrates or invertebrates. For example, '' Diphyllobothrium'' has at least two intermediate hosts, a crustacean and then one or more freshwater fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
