Disease Tapeworm infestation
Disease Description Tapeworms are long, segmented worms of the class Cestoda, which comprise 1 of 3 classes of parasitic worms (worms that require a host within which to mature). The other classes are Nematoda and Trematoda. These worms lack an intestinal tract and instead can absorb nutrients through their integument. The adult consists of a head (scolex), where the worms attach to the mucosa of the intestine, a neck and a segmented body that contains both male gonads and female gonads (proglottids).
Management Practices by administration of avermectins/milbemycins (ivermectin, dormectin, eprinomectin, and moxidectin) or benzimidazoles (oxfendazole, albendazole, fendbendazole)
