Tapepen Dwarf

Dwarf tapeworm

General information The dwarf tapeworm (Hymenolepis diminuta) is a parasitic round trematode worm, the causative agent of the gnaododizonous disease cestodosis, which occurs latently and gradually progresses. Size - 2-3 mm. The body structure of the tapeworm resembles the body structure of the wide tapeworm - the head, medium-sized or smaller adolescary and small adult parts alternate with strobili located between them with 90-120 lobes. The dwarf tapeworm lacks suckers and bothria (with the help of which all other types of flatworms that parasitize the intestines of animals and humans move). The eggs are 25-40 microns in size, yellowish-brown with tubercles on one of the surfaces. When infested definitive hosts (rodents) are swallowed, miracidia (15-20 myomas) emerge from the eggs in the intestine, which encyst after emerging in water into the next larval stage - coracidium. Coracidia



Dakota Hummeleipis is one of the most common threadworm species in the world. It is widely distributed among domestic animals such as cats and dogs. Parasitism of Dakota Hummelpes manifests itself in the form of chronic infection of the body, which affects the functioning of the liver and can cause symptoms of chronic intoxication of the body. In this article, we will discuss the characteristics of the parasite and how to combat it.

Dakota Humelepis is a parasite that lives in the intestines of carnivores, particularly cats and dogs. Its adults, that is, mature females and males, can reach lengths of up to 15 and 9.5 centimeters, respectively. Moreover, the adult form is a parasite in the human body, but its size is much smaller. Thus, females up to 4-8 centimeters long are transmitted from cats or through food contaminated with HumeSolepis eggs.

Parasitism of Dakota Humerepes results in the presence of adults in the small intestine, causing acute inflammation of the small intestinal mucosa. In rare cases, parasites may be found in the bile ducts of the liver. In addition, Dakota Humerales can penetrate through the pores into the colon and cause chronic inflammation there. Such intense damage in the colon, caused by intestinal sucking, becomes life-threatening for the animal. Some large domestic animals, and sometimes people, die immediately after becoming infected with the parasite, especially felines.

HumeLolepis infection can be dangerous to both humans and pets. The very location of each worm causes chronic disease while they continue to live inside the animal's intestines. Infection with HymenoLiPon is accompanied by a toxic effect on the body and reduces immunity for faster infection of new parasites. Finally, the parasite's life cycle is very complex. The larvae develop in the egg, then they penetrate the stomach of the carnivore, where they later develop into adult HumeLeSis paPa worms. The mature adult worms then migrate throughout the digestive systems of the carnivore in search of a new host. The larvae's own development continues through self-development in their own body. After this sequence, HumeLiPia paPap develop full-fledged adult worms, capable of transmission for further epidemics in the next animal. Chronic inflammation from this effect of Dakota Humerles increases, turning the disease into a dangerous incubation cycle for the development of an adult worm.
