Hydatigera taeniaeformis Batsch (1786) was found in the liver of six species of Egyptian wild rodents. Wanas et al., (1990) found the total incidence of this larval stage to be 20.0% among cestode infection. It was found in (40.9%) Rattus norvegicus; (33.3%) Gerbillus gerbillus; (26.8%) Rattus rattus; (25.0%) Mus musculus; (16.6%) Acomys cahirinus; and (7.2%) Arvicanthis niloticus. The cysts of Hydatigera taenioformis was always occupying the marginal surfaces of both right and left lobes and sometimes there was a double cyst contained two strobilae. The rostellar hooks used for identification. The strobilae obtained were in different stages of development. The rostellar hook system was complete and so the suckers but the segment showed no maturation. Morphological characters and role of rodents as intermediate host for such cestode are discussed.
泡状带绦虫(Hydatigera taeniaeformis Batsch,1786)在六种埃及野生啮齿动物的肝脏中被发现。瓦纳斯等人(1990年)发现,在绦虫感染中,该幼虫阶段的总发生率为20.0%。在挪威大鼠(Rattus norvegicus,占40.9%)、沙鼠(Gerbillus gerbillus,占33.3%)、黑家鼠(Rattus rattus,占26.8%)、小家鼠(Mus musculus,占25.0%)、埃及刺鼠(Acomys cahirinus,占16.6%)和尼罗多齿巨鼠(Arvicanthis niloticus,占7.2%)中均有发现。泡状带绦虫的囊蚴总是占据左右叶的边缘表面,有时会有一个包含两个节片链的双囊。使用顶突钩进行鉴定。获得的节片链处于不同的发育阶段。顶突钩系统完整,吸盘也是如此,但节片未成熟。文中讨论了啮齿动物作为这种绦虫中间宿主的形态特征和作用。
