Tapeworms

tapeworms

Tapeworms live in the digestive tracts of vertebrates as adults and often in the bodies of various animals as juveniles. In a tapeworm infection, adults absorb food predigested by the host, so the worms have no need for a digestive tract or a mouth. Large tapeworms are made almost entirely of reproductive structures with a small "head" for attachment. Symptoms vary widely, depending on the species causing the infection. The largest tapeworms can be 20 m or longer. Tapeworm awareness is importance to humans because they infect people and livestock. Two important tapeworms are the pork tapeworm and the beef tapeworm

Testimonial

Read What Our Clients Say

  • "Really appreciative of all the care and attention given to our dog when he was sick. Doctor Claborn kept us updated when our dog received a blood transfusion on the weekend after hours, and even called me back on Easter when our dog wasn't doing well at home. Everyone really seemed to care about our dogs health and well being. Twin Rivers will always be my choice for pet care."
