Abstract

Taenia hydatigena an exotic tapeworm is capable of completing its life cycle in domestic animals. A local puppy fed with metacestodes of T. hydatigena derived from Australian imported sheep produced adult tapeworms. Gravid segments when fed to a local lamb caused acute cysticercoses due to large numbers of migrating metacestodes. The gross pathological changes observed on post mortem are described.
