Cestodes are tapeworms (class Cestoidea, subclass Cestoda) that are similar to "specialized" flatworms. They generally look like narrow pieces of adhesive tape.

Can moniezia infect humans?

Moniezia is a genus of cestodes (tapeworms) that primarily infects the intestines of ruminants, such as cattle and sheep. It is not known to infect humans, as the life cycle of Moniezia requires intermediate hosts like mites, which are not part of human biology. Thus, humans are not considered a host for these parasites and cannot contract infections from them.


Who studied helminthology?

Helminthology is the study of parasitic worms, including nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes. Various scientists and researchers have contributed to this field over the years, with notable figures such as Rudolf Leuckart in the 19th century and more recent parasitologists like David Rollinson. Their work has advanced our understanding of the biology, ecology, and impact of these organisms on human and animal health.


What is trophic transmission in cestodes?

Trophic transmission occurs when the encysted larval form of a parasite are transmitted to the final host during the consumption of the intermediate host. They then mature in the final host. In simple terms - the young of the parasite live in the gut of a prey animal. That prey animal is then consumed by a predator. If it is the correct predator (trophically transmitted parasites can be species-specific) then the parasite will mature and reproduce in the gut of the predator.
