Despite the global distribution and public health consequences of Taenia tapeworms, the life cycles of taeniids infecting wildlife hosts remain largely undescribed. The larval stage of Taenia serialis commonly parasitizes rodents and lagomorphs, but has been reported in a wide range of hosts that includes geladas (Theropithecus gelada), primates endemic to Ethiopia. Geladas exhibit protuberant ...

A total of 1752 strains of osrnophilic yeasts were isolated from honey and po]]ens. Fody-three strains Gf esmophilic yeasts produced po]yols, among whieh 6 strains produced erythritol in good yields. On the other hand, 52 osmophilic yeasts converted sucrose te fin]etooligosaccharides, among which 8 strains produced both extra and intracel]ular P-fructofuranosidase, which conyerted sucrose to fr...

The 18S rDNA gene of adult worms of Taenia parva found in Genetta genetta in the Iberian Peninsula and larval stages of T. pisiformis from the wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Tenerife (Canary Islands) were amplified and sequenced. The sequences of the 18S rDNA gene of T. parva (1768 bp) and T. pisiformis (1760 bp) are reported for the first time (GenBank accession nos. AJ555167-AJ555168 ...
