Predictors, Costs, and Consequences of Larval Tapeworm Infection in Geladas (Theropithecus gelada).
… survival. I investigate how infection with the tapeworm Taenia serialis affects geladas (Theropithecus gelada) in the Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia. After identifying T. serialis as the parasite behind the protuberant cysts regularly observed in geladas with the use of molecular …

BERINGIAN BIOGEOGRAPHY: PATTERNS OF INTERCONTINENTAL DISPERSAL AND THE STRUCTURING OF A HOLARCTIC TAPEWORM GENUS
… colonization events within the Holarctic tapeworm genus, <em>Arostrilepis </em>Mas-Coma & Tenora, 1997. I performed maximum likelihood and multi-locus coalescent phylogenetic reconstructions using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences. Biogeographic ancestral range estimations were …

Occurrence and Impact of the Asian Fish Tapeworm Bothriocephalus acheilognathi in the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo del Norte)
… (Bean et al. 2007). Occurrence of this exotic tapeworm in the Rio Grande potentially is detrimental to native fishes, causing intestinal blockage and perforation, hemorrhaging, reduced growth, significantly decreased survivorship, and mortality (Scott and Grizzle 1979; Hoffman 1980; Granath and …

Studies on the biology of Cyathocephalus truncatus (Pallas, 1781) (Cestoda : Spathebothridea) in its fish and crustacean hosts
… in the body cavity of the amphipod. In fish,the tapeworm forms an attachment in the distal end of a pyloric caecum 3 days after infection and matures in 8-10 days with production of eggs. By the 15th day the attachment to host tissue has become so firm that it is impossible to separate the worm …

Studies on the metabolism of Hymenolepis diminuta with special reference to desoxyribonucleic acid, vitamin B12 and fat
… understanding of the physiology of the rat tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta, and the relationships that it has with its host. There are essentially two lines of attack that such a program may take. First, a knowledge of the basic constituents of the parasite is necessary in order to know the …

Multiple species of Phoreiobothrium from the blacktip shark,
During a survey of the adult tapeworm fauna of sharks from the Gulf of Mexico, the blacktip shark, Carcharhinus limbatus (Müller and Henle, 1839), was found to host cestodes in the genus Phoreiobothrium. Carcharhinus limbatus inhabits the world's tropical and warm temperate waters. As yet, 34 …
