PATHOGENESIS

  • In dogs, adult tapeworms are not pathogenic whereas in humans and other domestic animals, the pathogenesis vary and may be severe, owing to larval tapeworms i.e., hydatid cyst.
  • Clinical signs depend upon the location of the cyst. The function of affected organ is impaired. If the cyst is ruptured, it results in anaphylactic shock.
