The actual number of tapeworms used for each set of measurements is indicated in the results section.
The length of the tapeworms varied from 3 to 40 mm.
Cross-sections of 176 proglottids were obtained from randomly selected sections of strobilae from 12 tapeworms.
Transmission to humans occurs when eggs of the tapeworm, excreted by the final hosts (usually foxes but also dogs, wolves and cats), are ingested accidentally.
