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

Read What Our Clients Say

  • "The vet techs are super nice. They run all the tests to rule out everything. Once you leave and they ask you to call back with a follow up so the Vet will know and will let you know from there if he needs to increase or decrease medication it’s a joke. Called twice on one day and the next day he wasn’t even in the office. Don’t mind the fact when we were there the day of our appointment, it was two hours."
