Abstract
Nearly all of the cestodes, or tapeworms (class Cestoda in the phylum Platyhelminthes, the flatworms), are parasitic as adults in the intestinal tract of vertebrates. This article discusses the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of taeniasis, diphyllobothriasis, hymenolepiasis, dipylidiasis, and other tapeworm infections.Entities:
