A case of coenurosis in a wild rabbit (Lepus sinensis) caused by taenia serialis metacestode in Qinghai Tibetan Plateau Area, China

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Six cystic metacestodes were found in the abdominal muscles of a wild rabbit, Lepus sinensis, in China. The coenurus contained one or more scolices armed with hooklets. Mitochondrial cox1 (1,623 bp) confirmed 98% homology with cox1 of Taenia serialis. This is the first report of T. serialis infection in an intermediate host in the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau Area, China.
