 m des Men sc hen ; The Beef Tapeworm, the 

 st prevalent cestode of man. It is frequent in 

 Southern and Western Europe and Russia, and ap- 

 pears to be increasing in Great Britain, France, and 

 Switzerland, and is abundant throughout Asia and 

 Africa. It is rare in North and Central America, but 

 is quite common in Equatorial Brazil, increasing in 

 Peru and Chili. It is least abundant in heavily 

 wooded regions. The finn or larva, a simple scolex 

 known as the beef-measle [Cysticercus lamia saginata, 

 Goeze-Leuckart, q. v.), has for its host all the varie- 

 ties of the ox [Bos taurus). — Taenia saginata, Lewin.

 This cestode is found in wild and domestic ducks and 

 geese [Anas acuta, Anas boschas fera, Anas anser 

 ■z-sticata, Anas anser fera, Anas fuligula, Anas 

 brasiliensis). The larva or finn {Cysticercus tania 

 sinuosa, Zeder!, is found in the craw-fish (Aslacus 

 . Rondelet). — Taenia sive fascia intestino-

 anomalous forms of this species. Kiichenmeister's 

 Tenia mediocanellata was in reality a Tania solium ; 

 Bewaffneter Bandwurm des Afenschen ; The Armed 

 Tapeworm. This tapeworm has 

 been known as a parasite of man 

 from the earliest times. It has 

 been observed in all parts of 

 Europe, but with remarkable dif- 

 ferences in frequency, being rela- 

 tively rare in Turkev in Europe, Egg °f Taenia soli- 

 the Danubian provinces, Greece, 

 Italy, France, Spain, and Eng- 

 land. It is more frequent in Central Europe, in Ger- 

 many and Austria, the prevalence of the parasite hold- 

 ing direct relation to the quantity of pork consumed. 

 It is rare throughout Asia, Japan, Oceanica, and Africa. 

 In North America it appears to be somewhat on the 

 increase. It is very rare in Mexico and South Amer- 

 ica. The larva ( Cysticercus cellulosa, Cysticercus tan ice 

 solii, Leuckart q. v.) is found in the tissues of swine, 

 dogs, cats, rats, and man, producing measles (q. v.).

 canellata, Diesing (1854). See Tenia saginata, 

 Goeze (1782). — Taenia stigmata lateralibus, Bon- 

 net. See Tania solium, Linne. — Taenia stxuthionis, 

 Houltayn. Found in the intestine of the ostrich 

 {Struthio camelus). — Taenia tenella, Cobbold. This 

 name was first applied to Bothriocephalus latus by 

 Pallas and Retzius (1781), afterward by Cobbold to 

 a small-sized Tania solium (according to Chatin), 

 which he held to be a distinct species and derived 

 from a finn which he termed Cysticercus ovis (be- 

 cause found in the pseudo-measles of sheep) ; this in 

 turn proved to be Cysticercus tania. — Taenia tenella, 

 Pallas. See Tania musculi, Rudolphi. — Taenia 

 tenuicollis, Giinther, Moquin-Tandon. See Tcenia 

 marginata, Batsch. — Taenia tetragona, Molin.
